Obviously, we can't expect the movie to be like the book. After being somewhat disappointed the last 5 times, I went to see this movie not having read the book. And to say the least it was a pleasant surprise.
The film's technical aspects, the cinematography, special-effects,directing, background score was all top-notch. Acting was brilliant, right from the youngsters to the more experienced actors. Even though it's longer than a usual film, it keeps to addicted to it the whole time. Although, I couldn't help but feel lost at times and I had to turn to by friend who had red the book to catch up.
In my friend's view, the directors is truthful to the book and even though you don't get the same experience as the book, it's definitely worth a watch. I agree!
