Screen version was more disjointed than the book

Rating: 8/10 (27 October 2012)

After reading most of the book (still reading it) I was impressed with the creativity of the film; however, had I NOT read the book I think I would have been confused because of the choppiness of the editing and screenplay. The acting was superb, set design as close to what I imagined from reading the novel, and special effects were amazing. I think I could watch the film at least a couple of more times in order to digest the magnitude of this creation.I doubt that mainstream audiences will get this film unless they have read the book, and it's a shame because it could have been so much better. I gave it 8 stars because of the creativity of the film, the acting and the attempt to bring it all together.
