A little advice for those wishing to watch this movie


Do not read the book first, the movie will probably not measure up. Not bad, though.

I think the tone and mood of the film was spot-on. Does it have all the complexities of the book? No but it doesn't botch anything important. Like the Harry Potter films it works best as a scrapbook of sorts for people who enjoyed the book.

I liked the movie, I thought it was really good. However the book is much better.
