THAT BEING SAID.....that move really bit the dust for me! It's not *that* hard a story to follow, for starters but they just totally took it to pieces. I tried not be offended on that level for the above stated reason but for cryin' out loud! The dragon grows up in one second??? What is that? One nice flight and boom! She's a big giant dragon? And they moved things around in ways that were not at all necessary.
What was the most offensive to me, though, was that it failed a movie altogether, irrespective of the success of teh adaptation. There was that one scene where they started across the bridge in what looked like daylight, and it was dark by the time they got across it. It was so choppy and erratic, and way overacted in some places, and underacted in others.
If I had never read the book, I would still have despised this movie. I had my son with me, and he was into it, so I stayed in the theater, but I was ready to leave 15 minutes in.
One of the single worst movie going experiences of my life; the bad adaptation just makes it that much worse!

Mind you -I am the type of viewer who normally does not notice editing and what not. I am content to go along for the ride, and just let them tell their stories (or not take the ride at all, when there is a certain book involved!!

Ick! As much as I disagree with lots of choices that PJ and company made, at least he made good quality movies that people could sit through and enjoy!
