Boring; shame on you all; read the book instead

Rating: 1/10 (16 August 2002)

The first time I saw it (in the theater), I literally had a hard time staying awake. I made an excuse for it, "I was tired from work that day; the film cannot be that tedious if so many people love it." So I rented the DVD, and found it even more boring the second time! It has great visuals, but an incredibly inept screenplay. They've removed all the charm from one of my favorite novels. The acting was also very disruptive.
