Hollywoodized a good book

Rating: 6/10 (7 April 2008)

I understand that you can't put all the detail of a book into the movie, BUT changing the characters personality and general perception is not needed. EXCEPT if you want the movie to play well. I liked the movie, but felt some disappointment in waiting to see some of the most important scenes in the book.
If you like the movie, feel free to read the book. Besides the names of the characters the book is different enough to enjoy and not ruin what is happening.
The actors chosen were excellent, the costumes fantastic, but the plot just wasn't shocking enough.
