It buuuuuurrrrrns.
It was the best movie it could be, under the circumstances. That doesn't mean it was all that good. As a movie-of-the-book, rabid fans (like me) will squeak at everything that got changed, even though realistically the movie hit all the major plot points it could. As a movie in and of itself, it still wasn't that good: because the book is so huge, everything feels very compressed, and the final scene ends up being shortened and pretty anticlimactic. My real problem was the dialogue (oh, the dialogue). For all of you who thought the book was cheese, there are places where the film is far worse.
But because I am this invested in the series, I will have to see the last two films as well. It hasn't gotten so bad that I need to break up with the series (so in other words, still better than Spiderman 3).'
