Waste of boyle and a great book

Rating: 3/10 (26 February 2000)

I was so disappointed by this film! I just finished reading the book which i simply loved. It really is an amazing book and not like the movie at all, so read it even if you didn't like the movie. Where was Jed? he was such a great character, and the love triangle? where was that pulled from???? I thought Leo was okay, but i was disappointed by him. despite his "hot boy" status he is a very good actor: basket ball diaries, what's eating gilbert grape etc. and he usually chooses good films to be in... at least more than a lot of those "boys". Danny Boyle as well really disappointed me. I love trainspotting and it's one of my fav. all around movies. its entertaining, original, funny, intellegent etc. etc. but his skills were lost on this film. it had no plot or purpose and lost all the feeling contained in the book. Read the book its a great ride...
