Amazing book - great movie

Rating: 9/10 (28 April 2018)

This was a very rare situation for me. This is one of the first times where I have read the book before seeing the movie and I have to say it felt a bit weird.
Overall the movie was great and lived up to my expectations - but in a different kind of way than the book did. Obviously a lot of things had to be changed to make it work on the big screen. But this also meant that the focus of the story seemed to be more focused on cool visual storytelling more than regular storytelling as in the book.
This meant that some of the things I loved about the book got lost. I was very much entertained throughout the movie though, so I won't knock the movie for it, simply for being different than the book.
Overall a great movie based on an amazing book.
