if you haven't seen the movie or read the book wait to read this!!!

Rating: 3/10 (22 May 2006)

i have read the book. the book is amazing. i understand that when making a book into a movie things are changed and lost. i do not like when things are added. they added things in the movie that didn't need to be there. they removed things and changed things that DID need to be there. like why say that Sauniere was not Sofie's real grandfather but then have her real grandmother appear. thats wrong totally wrong. he was her real grandfather and yes she meets her grandmother at the end but she also meets her brother. her brother and herself were no actually in the car when the accident happened. another thing i didn't like was the ritual she witnessed her grandfather preforming. she wasn't that young she was in college when she came home and saw it. that was wrong to make it a child. they didn't explain that the ritual was the last one for a member to preform before becoming the master. i think casting tom hanks was wrong. he plays the same person in every movie tom hanks. he has no emotions no change from character to character. i think everyone else was very well casted.
