Definately not as good as the book!

Rating: Null/10 (4 September 2001)

I was soooooooooooo disappointed when I saw this movie, even though it was a good flick. I has already asked myself how they could possibly turn in into a film, and knew that some things would be changed and/or left out completely, but they went overboard.
Captain Corelli's Mandolin is my favourite book of all time; no doubt the best I've ever read. Which is why I hated anything that was changed for the movie. Especially how Mandras, Pelagaia's fiance, "saved" Corelli for the woman he loved. The most disappointing part of the film, however, was the ending. I LOVED the ending to the book; it made me cry tears of happiness (okay so I was a little emotional that day) so when the film ended where it did, I felt completely frustrated. I wanted to scream at the screen. Or maybe strangle someone.
To anyone that hasn't seen the movie or read the book - my suggestion is you see the movie first. That way, you won't be as disappointed as I was.
