Emmm no thumbs up.

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2006)

I was completely disappointed with the film. I was expecting something extraordinary, considering it was a Ron Howard film but I thought it was crap. It was slow, uninteresting and the actors seemed to have no passion for the film or the purpose it was supposed to serve. I read the novel a few weeks back and absolutely loved it. I found it entertaining and very well written in the sense that it kept the reader interested. Needless to say I finished the book in a day. However, the movie was not what I expected it to be. I bought tickets in advance and was looking forward to it, but I absolutely hate that so much was different in the movie, I mean yeah, movies are never exactly like the book but I was expecting more considering all the hype. They skipped a whole scene in the plane and I thought that was a vital point in the novel. Another thing...the ending. Where did that come from? I think I was most angry than disappointed at my waste of money. If I liked anything about it, it would have to be Silas. He was my favorite part of the film and most like the character in the novel.
Boo.
I like how no one clapped or showed enthusiasm for the film at the end. At least I don't stand alone in my opinion.
