I was quite afraid it would be a disappointment. Most adaptations of really great books are (e.g., Dune, A Wizard of Earthsea, the other two first-book-in-my-all-time-favorite-series.)It's great, great, super-great. Visually stunning, without being alienating or absurd, fantastic characters, awesome story (great theme, too, sorry bible thumpers), and quite true to the books.It's so, so good.So good, in fact, that god doesn't want you to see it.So you'd better not!
