No spoilers. Just wanted to say that having seen the movie, I think they’ve really reached the point where even a 2.5 hour movie is an inappropriate format for rendering the later books. Quite simply, the richness that makes the later books so good is gone. The movie is still a visual feast, but the characters often act in a way that would seem disjointed if you didn’t know the book.

In truth, a mini-series that lays it out over 7 - 14 hours is really the only way they could get it right. Too bad there just isn’t the money side to support that sort of move.
