I will grant you that the movie was well done, however, in most my cases my opinions favor the books as opposed to the movies. Mostly because of time constraints and artistic liberties they don't get it quite right; which when you're an avid reader such as myself and have one of those weird minds where you remember stuff you've read for years it can be annoying.
