Just a bad, pretentious movie

Rating: 3/10 (30 April 2016)

I read the book and of course the movie doesn't compare. Still, starting with the totally wrong choice of main actor (nothing against the guy but he was the wrong choice), going on to the writings on the screen (I love to read, and when I choose to read I read instead of watching a movie), and to the fact that more time was spent romanticizing Chris's life with Eddie Vedder soundtracks than showing, for example, how he connected with the people he met - the whole thing is just annoying and pretentious.
And that point where the actor looks into the camera? That ruined the whole thing. I continued half watching it as background noise while I cleaned my house.
