I really liked the movie. They didn't take too much out or change it too much like they did for the Harry Potter movie. Everyone will enjoy it whether they are book fans or have never read the books before. It is really easy to follow, so if you weren't clear on something in the books, it has it spelled out for you in the movie. For example, I didn't know what Turkish Delight was and also some of the terms about landforms in the books. But in the movie it showed it of course, and that allowed me to enjoy the books more. It is definitely the best movie I have ever seen, and perfect for any age.
