Not as gripping as the book is

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2006)

It is already 1.5 years since I read the book, and yet I interested me so much that I still remember the details. I had high hopes on this adaptation and hence I rushed to see this film. I am afraid this film is not as gripping as the book. In fact it does not get the viewers interested at all. It was so uninteresting that there were loud yawns in the cinema! I think the main problem of this film is that there were too many explanations and hypothesis telling. It almost becomes a documentary with all the history lessons. There were so much talking and left no time for action. Nor was there time for real character development.
Disappointing film, I would say. Or maybe it was just because I had my hopes too high.
