Having not read the books I can't really comment on the story or if it brought the characters to life. Movies don't always fulfil our expectations when reading a book. Although as I didn't have any prior context to this movie, It was very enjoyable. Yes there were some parts that felt a bit scripted here and there but all in all I think the main actors did their best to portray their characters. Some scenes of course looked quite fake and could have been improved but that is mostly down to funding. Had there been more money invested all the fantasy effects and fighting scenes could have been alot better. Found the fighting scenes a bit too easy and not much of a challenge. Having watched lots of fantasy and sci fi and action movies I know it could have been done alot better had there been more funding. In terms of storyline pretty predictable but I don't mind, the ending did throw me off a little as I didn't expect that to happen. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie and I cannot wait for the next one. Hope there's a next one with lots more action and more answers I just don't like cliffhangers...
