Montage!

Rating: 4/10 (23 March 2012)

I generally get disappointed when a good book is ruined by a movie, so I start with low expectations and hope that the movie will prove me wrong. I was not completely disappointed because the movie didn't not change anything major from the book except for one thing and that was the gore factor. The book had incredibly vivid and violent visualization which was not translated to this teenage pg-13 movie.
I feel like if someone who had never read the book were to watch the movie not enough would be explained for the viewer to follow the plot line or to have any cares or connection to the characters. After reading a few of the reviews from people who have not seen the movie I realize my suspicions are correct. The movie jumped from scene to scene so fast and with so little explanation you may as well be watching a series of trailers all pieced together or a montage of the book.
It was more disappointing than enjoyable and my favorite part about the movie was that Woody Harrelson was in it.
