Well I’ve read the series of books (very good by the way) and have to say that this movie was very well done. Watched this movie recently with my wife and kids (who’ve also read the series). Very good dialogue and good rendition of the book.
Usually when I’ve read the book first I hate the movie, but in this case the movie was at least as good as the book. 4 out of 5 stars. First rate movie – go see it or rent it or whatever it is that you do.
This is one that I am going to buy and put in my collection.
