Book > Movie

Rating: 7/10 (5 January 2015)

I was so angry I missed watching GONE GIRL at the movies... yet I was happy I lived with what I have read in the book as it was first released. I am a really big fan of Gillian Flynn's three novels and Gone Girl was the one who drug me to read the other three. I honestly declare that while watching the movie at home with my wife yesterday, I was very sure I was seeing the pages turn in front of me as if I am re-reading the book, yet the content was missing. I really liked in the novel the bond of Go and Nick in the movie; the Amazing Amy's psychological disturbance, and the utterly unfair missing link of the twins' father. I must admit that Ben and Rosemund were truly great in the movie however there were things I did not like or did not want to like, since I had such a great passion for the book itself. Amy was evil in the movie but she is a demon in the novel. Nick was a coward in the novel but it showed he was not that much of a coward in the movie. I gave the movie a 7 because of Flinch and the smart directing. I also loved the cinematography and the story telling, where in the book it is different when we see what Nick tells us and then we see Amy's point of view. All in all the movie was good, at least it brought the book to life. I am still wondering about the ending of both the movie and the novel, I still cant decide which has a better one!
