I'm no film critic but this movie was very enjoyable. I feel like the director carefully crafted this movie to guide the audience through a lot of the deeply involved scenes in a way that sows the interest of figuring out the lore by reading the book series. The story didn't feel rushed or like it had any pacing issues. I really hope it does well enough to merit another movie. P.S. Thank you to the cast and crew for making such a wonderful film during a global pandemic.
