Hard to follow. Not enough character development.

Rating: 5/10 (27 March 2012)

Went with my wife to see this last night. I must admit, I have not read any of the books, but my wife has read them all. I felt the story was fairly predictable, and found myself guessing outcomes before they happened. I was ready to shoot the director about halfway through the movie based solely on the filming. The action scenes are way to jerky to be able to follow whats happening. There was a girl that was watching the movie sitting near us that left the theater twice, holding her hand over her mouth as if she was about to throw up. My guess is that she got a little motion sick, as I didn't think it was THAT bad.
If you haven't watched it yet, I suggest reading the books first. You'll probably appreciate it more, and probably have more insight into the characters. As for me, I feel the movie has ruined the books, and probably won't read them now.
