Meh, I'll watch it online then buy the BD version when it comes out, biggest ripoff ever splitting it into 2 parts :P

Only went to watch one of them in theatres, and went to the late show so there wouldn't be annoying kids, guess what, still kids at the 11:30pm show (like 5 year olds) wtf parents

Rip off?  They're just giving it the time it deserves.  4/5/6 were poorly edited, jumbled messes because they were forced to cut out half the plot in an effort to cram 6-800 page books into 2.5 hour movies.  They should've either gone the LotR route or started splitting them into two movies each with the fourth.

I wouldn't mind the LotR route.  If it's a good movie I can sit there for 3.5 hours to watch it

I've never read the books, was thinking about it, currently reading the Song of Ice and Fire books now

I would highly recommend it, but I must warn you, the books were designed to "grow" alongside the readers.  The first 2-3 books definitely cater to the middle school crowd, with the series gradually maturing from that point to a younger adult level with the final book.

When I reread them just prior to when the Deathly Hallows came out when I was 19, I found them to be fairly slow and simple up until the end of book three or so, but once you ge to the end of book four, you literally cannot put them down from then on.  When I first started the series when I was 11 or so, I was captivated by every single book from the getgo.

It may be hard for an adult to get into the series fresh, but if you can put in the time to get through the earlier parts, it's definitely worth it!
