They did a good job. Very true to the book, very entertaining. They even fixed the mistake they made with the cat in the first one. He's orange like he's suppose to be.<br/><br/>Also saw the Hobbit. Once again, I have the same complaint as the other one. Too many long, dark, dull, orc chases and flashes. There was one that I found entertaining as they wore coming down the river. The rest of them? Eh. You see one orc scene you've seen them all. They're rather repetitive. Then there was something they added with the dragon, and dwarves, and gold, which made no logical sense.  <br/><br/>Other than that, I liked it. The dragon was extremely well done. The surprise of the movie was that I actually liked the entirely new character he added (the redheaded elf). She was really cool.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I get to go see The Hobbit this evening. About 9 hours and 17 minutes from now! :)<br/><br/>I wouldn't see Hunger Games if I was given free tickets. I saw the first one - and it was easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The entire idea was preposterous to me, beyond silly. But, I can't really think of any YA books that I've ever enjoyed seeing on film. Twilight, City of Bones, etc, etc, etc. Ugh. Serious YA overload, but if it sells tix... Guess I am just the grumpy old man. :)<br/><br/>-ark
