My Opinion : I enjoyed this version of the story.  Very close to the book but not quite.  There were bits in it that disappointed me but on the other hand, it would have been hard to do everything that was in the book, as it was a very long story and there was a lot involved.  But all in all, a movie to be enjoyed.
