Fantastic Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2006)

I had been reading and listening to the reviewers over the last few days so I was preparing myself for disappointment yesterday. I went with 2 friends. Two of us had read the book and 1 had not. We all thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Personally, I would have made the last 20 or so minutes different than Ron Howard but it still was great. I cannot understand all of the reviews I have seen. I have heard a lot of them call it boring...not in the least! Don't believe it. I actually thought that the ideas and clues were cleverly written and adapted for the screen. As for no chemistry between the 2 main characters, all I can say is that the reviewers must have flunked Chemistry in school. I also heard the criticism that the character Sophie had very little to say. I really don't know what to say to that except that maybe that reviewer went to the wrong movie because it certainly wasn't the one I saw! I usually don't buy into conspiracy theories but with the way this movie is being trashed across the board I think that Oliver Stone better get on the case! I can tell you that I will go to see it again and will be buying the DVD when it comes out.
