Good Adaptation out of the book

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2006)

As I liked the book so much, I was afraid of getting deception with the movie. Fortunately that wasn't the case - I liked it very much! Even though I liked the book the most (mainly because it exploits the subject much better and explains everything in detail to the reader), the film is very good - it's a very good adaptation most of the time. Due to obvious time-limitations, some parts were ripped off. Most of them weren't really necessary, but there are two or three that shouldn't have been suppressed - reason why my vote isn't higher. In my opinion the end is even better in the movie. The cast offered us some very good performances (specially Tom Hanks).
