The Book and The Movie

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2006)

Well, overall I was kind of disappointed. For any one out there I suggest going to see the movie before you read the book. This is just to the fact that the movie left out or didn't fully explain some of the things that went on in the book. If you haven't read the book I will recommend going to see this movie. IF you have already read the book don't waste your 8 dollars on a movie to go see it because your not missing out on anything. The acting in the movie was good. I mean you can't expect anything less from Tom Hanks. Another negative in the movie is all the French subtitles you have to read. In the book there are only bits and pieces of French. But in the movie you have to actually read a whole conversation in French and then it switchs back to talking in English, which I felt was very distracting. But to sum things up like I said, if you haven't read the book go ahead and see it because you will be amazed at the facts that occur. IF you have already read the book. Don't go waste your time.
