I just watched the movie and I loved it! The cast was amazing and the acting was wonderful, not to forget the quality of production! Of course Tim Burton did an amazing job with the cinematics.
I see some people who have read the books beforehand weren't satisfied with the movie as it didn't stick with the book 100%, and it's totally justifiable but this doesn't take away the original story. If you want to have a totally unbiased opinion of the movie, J suggest you watch the movies before you jump in the books and if you have already read the book and don't want to change the vision you have in your head then don't watch it.
I myself haven't read the books but I feel like Tim Burton surely captured the essence of the book as much as he deemed worthy.
Thank you ;)
