Most people I know liked it even thought they hadn't read the books. I showed my dad when he was visiting the DVD and half way through the movie he said pause it for a break. He was like "This was probably the last movie I would have picked off you shelf, but this movie is great!" <P>As for people not liking. I observed in the theaters, people walking out (mostly stupid teenagers) and just thought "good you don't deserve to understand this!"<P>I mean is this society so MTV influenced that one cannot sit still for 3 hours and enjoy a masterpiece? Too long??? I say not long enough!!!<P>One friend won't see it because she says "Its not her type of movie." What is that you aren't even going to give it a chance. Of course she likes stupid teeny movies like Orange County and stuff liek that.
