I am not going to go into a long-winded review here, but I will say I was somewhat disappointed in the movie, for 1 key reason. But first, a little background:
I have read books 1-3. I wanted to read GoF before I went, but I ran out of time (being Thanksgiving with family and all that). I have seen the first 2 movies.
Here it is: Much like SW Ep 3:Revenge of the Sith, I did not get a sense of the passage of time. In RotS, the only passage of time shown is Amidala's pregnancy. You don't get the sense that this war is dragging on and on. It could be days or weeks passing, or it could be months. Same with GoF. The only indication is the Holiday Dance, which is just one point in time. The rest of the movie could have happened days, weeks, or months before and after, and I just did not get a good sense of time flow. Movie starts, thing happens, thing happens, holiday ball, thing happens, thing happens, end of school.
Maybe it is the adaptation from book to screen. I will know more once I read it.
