WOW!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 1999)

I read the book before-hand and I couldn't put it down. I was very anxious to see the film and was not disappointed at all. It was like watching the book... 95% of the dialogue came straight out of there. Everybody who was in it did a superb job (from tom hanks right down to that all-too-important mouse), and the movie was exactly what i had pictured while reading. It didn't seem like a 3 hour+ movie, i was stuck to my chair. I can offer some advice when you go to see it: make sure you've got plenty to drink. Even though i knew the story, i refused to get up at all during the whole movie. parts of it were difficult to watch, but i couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. It was just awesome.
