Movie is based on a book

Rating: 6/10 (14 August 2007)

I've been reading the comments a bit, and after watching the movie, I can't say it's absolutely crap or that it's an Oscar winning movie, just sort of in between. I actually read the book some years ago, and let me tell you, the book is a lot better, simply because there are a lot more details and story in the book. The movie follows the main line of the book, and I might add the book is confusing at some points as well. At least one of the characters was completely changed in the movie (probably to save time)
I haven't seen a lot of movies based on books that are actually better than the book, or even come close to the book, so keep it in mind.
