Does not stay true to the book

Rating: 4/10 (21 May 2006)

I have to admit that I am the type of person that tries to find the best in every movie I watch. Did I enjoy the movie?? Yes, I did; but only due to the anticipation I had had to endure for the past few months. Did I read the book..yes...and recently too. Perhaps this is why I was able to see all the differences in the movie. Now I fully understand the reason for hurrying the story along for the sake of film length. However why were things changed?? The ending of the movie was completely different than the book. All of a sudden he is not Sophie's grandfather??? And where did these Opus Dei come from??? Also why is Sophie's brother not even mentioned. Either way; if you haven't read the book...or at least not recently perhaps you can look over these inaccuracies...I can't.
