Too much book for a two hour movie

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2010)

First of all i have to say that i have very mixed feelings about this movie. I have read all the books, and from a fan point of view that have already read the books this movie makes it out better than from a point of view where the watcher have not read the book. This is in my opinion not exactly a good way to make movies. You shouldn't have to read a book to get the movie.
The thing that i feel is really holding this movie back is that the director should either have kept to the reader fans and made it truly for them, or truly for those who haven't read it. It seems a little like they tried to fulfill everyone's wishes, something i wouldn't say worked out as well as planed.
What they should've done was to cut out a few of the details that wouldn't have made a real difference to the main plot. There are some parts that i wouldn't've really understood if i hadent read the book, and in my opinion thats not something you put in the movie.
So my conclusion is that they failed at the prioritizing part. It does have some of the things i really liked about the first movie, but sadly not enough for me to give it any higher score than this.
Also, i cant decide if Kirsten is a brilliant actor or a really crappy one. I usually think the brilliant way, but at some points it makes me wonder.
6 out of 10! The biggest minus was the things that i wouldn't have understood if i hadent read the book, and it was a lot of those here.
