Scott was great as Dan, Nick Nolte was miscast.

Rating: 5/10 (24 September 2006)

I agree with other comments that the part of Dan was filled wonderfully by Scott. I did not like the choice for his sage. which is is odd for me as I love Nick Nolte in about anything. The story was a great one about Dan Millman, but if you have read he book, really read it, you will be disappointed in the presentation of Socrates. Not Nick's fault I am sure, but just not him. Otherwise the movie was enjoyable and had outstanding gymnastics. As in many book movies, it is hard to decide what to put in and what to sacrifice. I believe, it is always hard to follow a classic book with a movie, there should be Peaceful Warrior 2 and Peaceful Warrior 3 to do it justice in content! "What Dreams May Come" and "Somewhere In Time" were examples of doing justice to the book, but they were shorter books. So all in all, it was a good movie, but not as good as the book except for Scott, who fit the part perfectly. I would recommend reading the book to everyone.
