I haven't read the books, and watched the movie last night. There were moments where I thought the scenes were cool and well set and well created, but overall the story lacked originality. It's everything we've seen with superhero movies, plot wise, where the "evil" guy wants power at any cost, and they play that character visibly. Casting wise, Jason Mamoa seemed like he was reading lines and played a character you know was going to die in the way he did, because again, we've seen this before 100 times over. Anyway, aside from the set and visuals, I wasn't impressed with the story or the characters.
