Incredible. I hoped part 2 wouldn’t fumble and I needn’t have worried. Loved every minute; if anything my expectations were exceeded, which is funny considering this has been my most anticipated movie for years. Yes, the book is still better for all the reasons books have an advantage over film, but when assessing ambitious book to film projects this is equal to Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings for me. Perfectly crafted atmosphere, great attention to both tiny details and huge scale. Plus emotional moments large/dramatic and small/intimate, because you care about these characters. Fantastic job Denis.
