So... A well-written, entertaining book that you thoroughly enjoyed is going to make its debut on the silver screen. You ask yourself that same question that millions of other fans around the world must also decide: Do you go?
Of course you do. Whether you may agree with the director/producer's interpretation of the story is almost irrelevant. You want to see the adventure that you've been playing in your head for a while now played out in brilliant Technicolor before you.
For just a couple hours, you take a shared journey with the actors, the screenwriters, the film crew, the director, the producer, and most importantly — the other fans. It's rare that any two people see the same thing similarly, so you'll probably wish a scene or two played out differently. However, even at today's prices, you'll probably still get your money's worth.
If not, there's always next time.
