As a longtime fan of the ASOIAF novels it is terribly disappointing to see what the show writers are doing with this story. It is understandable that certain changes are to be made for screen adaptations, but to continuously change an important story and its characters at every turn takes away from what genuine fans enjoyed. There are entertaining moments to be had, but in general it does not live up to the source material in any way.

The animation, story, and characters are all quite enjoyable. Only downside is when the robotic suits are introduced, then it feels like you're watching Transformers.

What a waste of 2.5 hours this was. It is included in most action movie categories, but I personally found it to be one of the most boring films I've watched in years. I held on time and time again expecting the story or anything to pick up, but even the final 'climax' is dull. Don't put yourself through the torture this was.
