Completely Different then the Book

Rating: 1/10 (26 March 2008)

The book and the movie should never have been connected. The only things they have in common are the title and the names of the characters. If you've read the book you are going to be very disappointed and if you read the book after watching the movie you will be amazed by how the two are completely different. They tried to fit too much history in to, too small amount of time. Several key elements are left out, characters are portrayed in a completely different light from the book. I believe that even some of the names of places were incorrect. The acting was not that great either, but then again an actor can only do so much with what they are given. The only good thing that I can say about the movie is that the costumes were beautiful as were the sets.
