Query: Not a great pick

I,too,have mixed feelings about the film.It certainly has left out or completely changed certain aspects of the novel.Unlike earlier films, this one strays from the plot line of the novel in several key ways. Since I have read the series from cover to cover a number of times, I was able to fill in the gaps. However, the friends who saw it with me were not able to do that because they did not know the characters/sequence of events in great detail. I will buy the DVD simply because I own the rest of the series and want to add it to the collection. I do, however, hope the next two films in the series are of higher quality and more true to the story line than this one.
