In general a really good movie.

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2006)

Before I saw the the movie there were some negative comments about the film. Those comments didn't say the movie was bad, but that it was disappointing, for director Danny Boyle. It said that the movie isn't by far as good as his other well known movie "Trainspotting"
But, I don't really agree with those critics. (Almost) the whole first half of the movie I found really fascinating: very good acting and beautiful cinematography. Also the music is really excellent. After the first half the movie weakens a little, but it stays alright. Some people will find the end disappointing. The end is almost the same as in the book, and, I also found it a bit disappointing. In general, this is a real good movie, with good acting, beautiful cinematography, very good music and some memorable parts! If you haven't seen it, you really should see "The Beach" as soon as possible !
