OK to really decent acting, Rushed

Rating: 5/10 (4 December 2008)

I understand that books can't exactly be adapted into films without major cuts. The problem with this film is that relationship between the characters doesn't even build. If I hadn't read the book and I watched this film I believe I would have been lost as far as the relationship went. Some parts of the film were supported by excellent acting, and some were completely scarred by their performances. In my humble opinion, this film would have been much better with a different director or screenwriter. If the romance were turned up a little, and the viewers got to see what drove the characters to make the sacrifices they did, and the action were cut down a tad, this film could have been great. Hopefully the sequel and following films learn from this and do better.
