IF you liked the books, you're going to hate the movie. It sucks if you know what's supposed to happen.

One of the things that I love in the movies is to see on screen what's only been in my head for all these years.

For the most part, I haven't been disappointed.

Loved the books, loved the movie(s).

Is the movie a word-for-word retelling of the books? Of course not. Is the movie the best rendering of the books into film? Absolutely! And probably will remain so for our lifetime, at least.

Are you an elitist, picayune little piss-ant if minor deviations or omissions from the books cause you to pan the film? Yes.
