Does no justice to the book

Rating: Null/10 (13 April 2012)

Over Christmas being a fan of Alan Moore's "V for Vendetta" my parents got me one of his mos influential graphic novels, "From Hell". A brilliantly illustrated and written novel that created a story around the Whitechapel murders. I'd love to talk more about it but I'm not here to talk about the book... I'm here to talk about the movie. For the record, I have nothing against the Hughes brother. Personally, I think they're very good directors and they use camera skills to illustrate good story lines. However, this movie... really, just sucked and here's why. To begin, Abberline was not a drug addict. A major flaw which begins the domino effect of the movies failure. Abberline was one of many character to be incorrectly illustrated in this movie. However, my biggest problem with this movie... IF YOU WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE SPOILER ALERTS BEGIN BELOW was the fact that the writers tried to make the murderer a mystery. he second chapter of the book explains who the murderer is and his back story. I wont say who the murderer is because some of you may want to watch this movie but even if you do you'll know the minute the character is introduced. The killer has the same exact voice, height and skill. Anyway, I would not recommend this movie to anyone who loved the book.
