Spielberg and the cast are excellent

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2018)

I thought the book was well written, and the story drew me in immediately. Given that there's too much detail in the book to fully convey in a movie, and that movies are rarely better than the book version of the story, I was pleasantly surprised by Spielberg and the writers' interpretation. Yes, there were many parts of the book omitted, and scenes added that were not in the book, but the end result was a highly entertaining movie! It was a great ride from start to end, and the core of the book is well represented in the movie. I urge everyone to see this movie and don't listen to others who are hyper-critical, it's well worth it!
