Compared to the book I see it as a failure.

Rating: 2/10 (5 June 2011)

To start off let me say that i LOVED the book. Has to be one of THE best books ever written. While i was reading this book i was imagining that the movie was going to be fantastic. I figured it was going to just as amazing as the book. Right after i finished reading the book i decided to watch the movie since I've heard what Justice it did to the book. I went in with high hopes. Boyyyyy was i wrong. The acting was pretttty bad from the kids, tom was pretty good, atticus was great, and everything else sucked. The movie left out really touching parts from the book. It also it did not emphasize the importance of certain characters. The court scene was terrible. It was not as powerful as it was in the book. The acting was DREADFUL. I ended up turning the movie off before it ended because i could not handle such a beautiful book be chopped and messed around with as badly as it was. The movie was such a disappointment i cannot wait for it to be remade by someone who actually loved the book and can truly capture its beauty and can be played by people that can *hopefully act and portray the characters in a much better way. Conclusion: Read the book, itll paint a better picture and you wont have to see such an amazing book be destroyed
