Maybe I just have a different take because I thought that the third book was so much different than the first two...much like the movies.
I was entertained for my 9.50. I would go again. I guess I just look at it as more of a wanting to be entertained and enjoying what was presented.
Something to remember I think...when we read a book, it can be whatever we want it to be on the movie screen in our minds, maybe that is why so many are disappointed...because they saw their representation much differently than Cuaron saw his.

i completely agree with all of this. it was definitely worth the $12.95 we paid a ticket to see it at the imax. (even htough my dad is still upset i wouldn't let him sell the tickets to the guy who offered him $50 for each!)
one thing my mom said when i was talking to her is that they took a 500-600 page book and made it a two hour movie, they have to leave a lot out just b/c of time constraints. maybe if they would have made it three hours they could have included a lot more. i agree that they left a lot out, but i still loved the movie!
