Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (15 October 2012)

This is for all of you who haven't seen the movie yet: read the book first! That is, first of all, because it is so much better. I loved the book, and it got me hooked from the beginning. Second of all, it is because many of the things in the movie can not be understood completely without knowing the background stories. I was really disappointed to see that they changed so much, not just removing plots from the book, but also adding happenings that wasn't even in the book to begin with, and which didn't make any sense at all. What a disappointment!
I'm not a director, nor do I have any knowledge when it comes to film making..but I do know what makes a good movie, and considering the emotions I got from reading the book, it could have been made in a much better way. The movie didn't get any of that at all. It was like watching a recap of a movie, I bet you could tell a lot of things were missing even if you hadn't read the book. Why not just make two great movies instead of just one really bad? That's how they make money in the film industry now anyways. Oh well.. I'm not bitter. Not at all. It could have been great, just saying.
