Title: Excellent movie
Review: I read the book the year before the movie came out. And I was a little afraid that it would follow the book so closely that it would be redundant, like Beloved (Beloved was an excellent movie too, but shouldn't be watched right after reading the book). Anyhow, this is an excellent book to film! The special effects were nearly seemless and all complimented the story. The director didn't follow the exact ending as the book, but his ending works and has a greater emotional impact. Also, as any epic novel, the director had to cut out quite a bit and merge a few characters. But I didn't miss a single thing that was left out. I can hardly wait to see the second and third film. This trilogy is going to be a classic.
