what is everyone talking about??

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2006)

this movie is awesome!!! if you loved the book, take some friends to see this. i am never listening to critics again. overall, it was one of the best adaptations of a book i've seen. some stuff was left out, but it flowed well. the acting was surprisingly good, especially considering all the horrible press, and the script was fine. exiting the theater, all i could hear were people trying to figure out where all the negative stuff about the movie came from. the only thing i can think to complain about is that some of the settings weren't identical to the image i had in my mind, but some of them actually helped me enjoy the book more, looking back on it. overall, it's a great movie and I'm shocked and a bit disturbed by all the bad things being said about it. and obviously, if you find the book offensive, going to see this is probably a bad idea unless you're open minded.
