Missed the chance

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2007)

The original novel is a great story because of the end. And this is different to the end of the movie. But I cannot believe why Neil Gaiman has accepted to change his story in such a profane manner. It doesn't always have to be the big battle at the end! To tell the original story with the original characters would have made the movie really extraordinary. The actors did a great job, as well as the scenery was done well. But there were to many needless changes in the screenplay (eg. the frequent market in Wall, Captain Shakespeare, Tristans mother and the wanderings of Tristan and Yvaine). Directors: don't try to copy Lord of the Rings - you will miss. Have a look at french movies and how they can really tell a good story!
