We're talking about going tomorrow. Sounds like it's done real well at the box office. Not an absolute yet, but, there's a pretty good chance.

I don't know whether I'll go to the movies to see it.
I'm reading book #2 at the moment, and I'm unsure how it'll translate to the screen.
M has muttered about the premise of the movie being a sign of the times.

My girl has the books and liked them. We saw the movie today. I liked it even tho I had not read the books. She wants to see the other 2 books in movie form.

I can not fathom how they will make book 3 a movie.
Do you like the books?
I devoured them. But I'm a sappy girl.

Honestly I didn't know it was a book until the movie came out and someone mentioned it. I haven't seen it, but have been told that it's an excellent movie. Not sure if it's something I'd want to see though.

They say book 3 is 2 movies and that makes sense now.
I saw it this morning. Loved it. I hate how much of the under story was lost but feel that if you read the books you will know what you know.

How about someone who hasn't read the books? Will it still be an enjoyable movie or will said person be utterly lost? I've seen movies like that (usually I had already read the book(s)) and ended up having to explain everything after the movie.

LS I haven't read the books and didn't feel lost at all and I liked the movie. Now I want to read the books cause my girl kept saying how much they skipped over.

My daughter read all 3 books in record fast time. (She's usually not a fast reader.) She said she just couldn't put these books down.
She went to see the movie and said it was good too.
