      So it'll be just another "okay, but could've been much better" movie. Good to know.

        Could be. Maybe he'll surprise us though.

          Will someone who has never read the book enjoy this movie? I'm thinking of blind buying the BR on Friday

          Thanks

            I watched the movie before I read the book and enjoyed it, moreso because I didn't have expectations and wasn't constantly critiquing how events in the book were represented on film.

              Movie wouldve been better had I not read the book.

              Still think it "sucked" though.

                I'm not a reader, but my fiancee had the books on her Kindle, so I read them after seeing the movie and thought they were great. I can see where some people who read the books first could have a problem with them, but enjoyed it.

                  I don't think it matters.

                  I personally hated the movie and liked the books. But I didn't hate the movie because of book stuff. I hated the movie because I just thought it was an awful movie.

                  Anyway, my opinion is it doesn't matter. If you like the movie, you'll like the movie whether you did or didn't read the books.

                    That's a good point.

                    I might think the movie sucks because it, well, actually sucked and not because I had just read the book earlier that week when I saw it.

                      I read and LOVED the books. Also loved the movies. I think you can like the movie without reading the book

                        I read all three books in about two weeks and loved them but haven't seen the movie yet. Those of you who did read the books first, did the movie just murder it for you? Or was it decent comparatively? I don't want the movie to ruin the books for me.

                          It doesn't. The book is better like in most cases, but the movie was exciting as well. I think you get more out of the movie by having read the book.

                            It felt a little rushed at times but I still liked it alot. Will be getting the Blu-Ray.

                              I saw the movie and it didn't motivate me to become interested in the books.

                                Saw the movie and liked it so I started to read the books. I'm about 3/4 of the way through the 3rd book now.
