I saw it an a preview event this evening and I also read the books about a year and a half back.
It felt flat and rushed. I know that they're trying to cram a lot into 2 hours and it's never the same as the book, which makes it OK to skip a lot of things but the parts that they kept still felt rushed.
As best I can remember they stayed true to the book, which is rare.
The special effects were really terrible in a few spots.
For someone who hasn't read the books there will be no expectation for a 2nd or 3rd movie. It just kind of ends. One of my friends after the movie who hasn't read it just said "that's it?".
