Good movie, not much similarity to its source novel

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2019)

I love this movie. I've seen it probably 50+ times. I decided recently to start reading nooks that became my favorite movies. The book was just used as a rough outline for the movie. That's not to say the movie is no good-it is. The visuals and the music are magical. And our hero Richard still goes through many of the same character challenges, they're just condensed down into a 2 hour movie. To tell the novel in movie for would take much longer. But like I said, the movie is one of my guilty pleasures.
