Great movie.. BUT! (spoiler included)

Rating: 7/10 (22 May 2006)

I saw the movie yesterday and I must say that I was totally disappointed with the events missing from the movie in comparison with the book! Where the hell is Sophie's brother? That was the most anticipated scene in the book that I wanted to see on screen.. and it was completely removed!!!! Many essential elements are missing from the movie..it was a shame..
If you didn't get to read the book before seeing the movie, you'll get confused! Many of the terms used and facts + explanations are given very very fast and the viewer doesn't get the chance to understand them! Let's hope a director's cut of the movie will come out soon on DVD! I feel that Ron Howard wanted to show so much but was restricted...
