Enjoyed it more than the book!

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2008)

I was actually very surprised I liked this movie so much. I didn't think the book was that fantastic (not very memorable). I thought the acting was great and the filming superb. The whole time my husband and I were thinking "That stupid girl" (and I kind of hate that feeling). I enjoyed it more than he did. I agree with another poster that this is Keira's best performance. I'm not a huge fan, but she did great and didn't annoy me (thrown back shoulders and turned out arms aside). This was her best role. I really liked McAvoy. He is simply a fantastic actor in just about everything I've seen him in. It was a little long, but I'm glad it went into the depth it did in the beginning to give a sense of history and background. A great film.
