I thought that the movie was great. I went in realizing that it is not supposed to be a direct interpretation of the book, and I think that helped a lot. My only complaints are that they didn't go too far into the plans to demolish Arthurs house being in a locked cellar with no lights and whatnot. They could have also done without the love story. I also agree with Blahblah that they should have explained the towels better for the newbies. All in all though, the movie was great. This is definately a movie that I am going to have to pick up the DVD for when it comes out.
