Saw the movie... A) It did not do the book justice. B) A lot of it looked pretty well like a low budget film...Damn they are making a killing! C) A lot of the special effects were cheesy. D) I know they can't fit a WHOLE book into 1 movie but there were a lot of key parts missing. E) I like the characters better in my head than I actually liked how they were portrayed on screen. So, am I glad I went to see it? Yes. There was some good in the movie and I really liked to see the characters as they evolved. But overall, the movie kind of sucked.

I never like a movie if I read the book first. Your eyes can only take in so much detail and so much is lost in the translation.
I go see them anyway, just out of curiousity.

That is the main reason I went. I loved the book so much really, I wanted to see how well they were able to adapt it to film. And, I wanted to see how the characters played out and were portrayed in the author's mind as opposed to how I invented them in my own head while reading.
I am still glad I went to see it but I don't think it lived up to my expectations of what I was hoping for the movie.
