A visual extravaganza! An interesting and engaging storyline. A soundtrack that fits the action perfectly.

Had an occasional feeling that some things didn't fit together properly, some of the story felt a little episodic. But as an overall - this film is fantastic. Is it DVD 'must buy' material? Not quite, but close.

My incoherence is partly down to my sub-4hrs kip last night, and the fact that Nightwatch was only on at 2315 :)
Mood:: awake
Music:: Stephen Fry on 'Friday Night with Jonathon Ross'

No,
even completely awake and attentative the film, good though as it is, doesn't really fit that well.

I reckon had I read the books some bits would have made more sense and a lot of it should have been cut shorter.

I know they are trying to make an epic trilogy but still 30 minutes randomness cut out of the film would have made it special.

I'm glad it's not only me. I had considered finding out some of the books and doing them first, but thought it'd probably not do them justice. I don't know, maybe I should get hold of them now and see if they match up at all.
