They did a screening at my university, Lionsgate has done that rather often here, and personally I thought it was a really genuine feeling, visceral performance compared to the usual super high budget hollywood films I was accustomed to. I was a fan of the books, and I really quite liked it.
They did a good job, honored the books as well as they could I think. Will be interesting to see how it does and if they make more.
