This marks one of the few times in my life that I have actually stopped a movie before it was over. If I start a movie I generally stick it out til the end, but this movie was so bad, and I've heard from so many people that the books are incredible that I turned it off about thirty minutes in to save myself for the books. So unless the movie totally redeems itself in the final 1.5 hours, it simply sucks. Perhaps if you had read the books you would find some entertainment value at seeing it on the big screen. But I doubt it.
