If your looking at how the movie relates to the book it's not that good. If your looking at casting, redirection, reinterpretation, ACTING, and dedication the movie is absolutely stupendous. It all depends on your personal preference. I for one loved the movie. As a teenager I can relate to the Movie more. I don't like watching movies the point of view of 11-12 year olds. That's why I prefer the later Harry Potter movies over the first few. I'm glad they cut out a lot of the Book, movies shouldn't be over 2.5 hours and hard to follow.
