It's literary rape

Rating: 1/10 (21 August 2014)

So I just read the book and thought i'd watch the movie and as everyone knows the movie is never quite as good as the book, but this, this is horrible on so many levels.. If you see it as just a movie I guess that Neil Burger did a pretty decent job. But I have read the book and i barely made it trough the whole movie. First of all they totally messed up the storyline. It's like letting a toddler copy a Picasso, if you look closely you can see the original in there somewhere. And second of all they didn't manage to get even half of the brutality and intensity from the book in to the movie, the fight scenes are a joke, not to talk about the casting. I guess some of the actors where pretty good but none of them where right for their rolls. And what about the plot twist? They completely messed that up, revealing what was going to happen way before it did. I know that transferring a book in to a movie is hard but come on, rewriting scenes like this should be a crime. In conclusion Neil Burger completely and totally raped a fine piece of literature. The only upside to this movie was the music choice since i'm a big Ellie Goulding fan..
If you read the book and liked it don't bother to watch the movie.
