I saw this in London last week--it was great, but I couldn't believe they ended it before the actual end of the first novel! My sister and I thought the projector guy wanted to knock off early or something and just cut the last scene, but apparently not! It'll really be a bummer if they don't make the next two films now.
I also saw Elizabeth: The Golden Age the next day (cool litle cinema just a few blocks from our hotel), which I enjoyed quite a bit as well. It wasn't as good as the first Blanchett Elizabeth film--a bit static for the first hour--but Clive Owen was great and the last several scenes with the Armada sinking and all were really well done.
On the plane home, I saw Stardust, which was really cute, and also The Invasion (which I watched mostly for the Daniel Craig bits and was reasonably well-rewarded for the effort *smirk*).
