Hollywood fails again

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2007)

Having read the book I was eager to see this film but as with many Hollywood adaptations money can't buy a good script. The ending has been completely changed to appeal to popcorn munching sheep. Did the story need CGI? No! But that's what seems to sell a film these days. Why can't someone outside Hollywood make a decent adaption to these classic books? Sadly the answer is because Hollywood has bought the rights to the scripts. As the wise know Hollywood is about making money not making a good film.
If you like Will Smith and millions of dollars worth of CGI then this film is for you.......but I you urge to read the book which is fantastic and much more rewarding!
