I'd recommend reading the books over seeing the movie. It seems like they took the passages from the book that advanced the story or were particularly active and cinematic, put them in whatever order they felt best suited the pacing of a holiday movie, and then tried to fill in the gaps to make it almost semi-coherent. Character development? BAH! We've got panserbjorn! Multi-dimensional characters that give a sense of history? BAH! We've got really cool particle animations! And zeppelins! And panserbjorn!
The most developed character in the movie is a CGI talking polar bear. In the book he is an important, but not primary, character. I expect to see him hocking Coca-Cola soon.
