Not quite as I imagined it in reading, but movies never are.

I'll watch it again in a theater if the opportunity arises. There's not many movies I say that about. The two and a half hours goes by quick.

I read the story first so there wasn't much to give away. Watching two of the trailers did not detract from my enjoyment of the movie.
