Too much ado...

Rating: 5/10 (18 November 2009)

I had been waiting for this movie for all those months. I got my tickets early enough and now I just feel disappointed and fooled.
The only truly good things in the movie was the acting and the effects. Other than that I found the script too pompous for it's own good. So pompous that even the acting didn't save the situation.
Don't get me wrong, I know that it is another think to visualize something in your own head and another to actually see it through someone else's perspective but again... It was just too much! I feel so utterly disappointed because I loved the books and for me they didn't even try to get the book's meanings through the movie. It was all just too SUPERFICIAL. Made only to satisfy the eyes and not the brain. And that is something I can't stand when I have high expectations from something. I mean, the book made me cry more than once. The movie didn't do that at any time.
All I could think about during the movie was that I would've been better off reading the book for the third time instead of going to the movies tonight.
Like I said, too much ado...
