This was a really good adaptation and very well done. The only complaints I heard were to the effect that some scenes from the book were left out. The effects were terrific, the acting good, the characters believable, and the lighting was awesome. I look forward to the sequel.

It was great! It was thrilling and fascinating and I loved the effects and props, especially the chess set. Very well done and I highly recommend it.
