It was good, but could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (30 May 2006)

I must say that i was a little disappointed with the movie, however i read the book before seeing the movie and its true the book is always better. The one thing that really got me about it was that it was long and about half way through the movie i found myself asking when is this going to be over. Its possible that that was because i already knew the story. Unfortinatly a lot of the symbolism was left out, which was the best part of the book.
However on the other side they did a very good job portraying many aspects that were lacking in the book. However due to time constraints they left out a lot of the really interesting and suspenseful parts of the book.
I must say that it is a GOOD move if you have not read the book, but if you have read the book you will be disappointed.
