Honestly a horrible film

Rating: 2/10 (21 September 2014)

I wanted to like it. I really did. After reading the book I was looking forward to this film and could not make it through without fast forwarding. The main problem is the story which is highly narrative does not translate. Not that it couldn't have. The screen writing is terrible and is largely word-for-word from the book. Key elements to understanding the characters and the story are missing from the film. I don't know how anyone could understand the film without reading the book. Honestly a horrible film and the screenwriter should be embarrassed.
Since the film has lucked into earning a lot of money and therefore sequels, hopefully they will take this as an opportunity to bring in new screenwriters and editors.
Don't waste your money for sure. Only waste your time if you are at home and doing something else at the same time.
