Follows Book Given Format

Rating: 8/10 (12 December 2010)

All the naysayers, my my. No it's not perfect and the acting is sometimes painful but, people love it because of the books. If you hadn't read them you would feel completely different about the film. You would have been looking forward to it like the next episode of NCIS. The books have spoiled us all. Very had to compete with are expectations of what and who these characters should be.
I think the bottom line is a one weekend gross that paid for the film. Not to many films even come close to that. We will watch them all hopping for the few moments that come close to what we wanted to see. Otherwise, wait until it comes in a box set, all five films, for ten bucks. At least you can save some money.
