The movie is great, best film of the year. And the REASON it is great is that it doesn't stick slavishly to the books. I say that because Harry Potter DID stick slavishly to the books and it sucks. Clearly Jacksons way is the better way to make a film. You have to translate the material to a different medium rather than make a carbon copy of it.
