Those written from a first person perspective especially are always going to suffer.<br /><br />They did well to cram in what they did, and like I said, it was a decent enough movie, but seeing it just made me love the books, and to be honest, books in general, even more, because of how much more they can convey. That's not a criticism of movies, I get the limitations, but for the kind of storytelling in these particular books, they were never going to be able to do it justice.
