read the book and then saw it (please don't listen to negative critics)

Rating: 9/10 (11 March 2009)

Me and 10 friends went to see it. 3 had read the novel including myself and loved it. 3 hated it because they went in with high expectations and the rest were neutral. it wasn't hard to follow, but without the subplots like in the novel it was hard for people who haven't read it to follow. except for the end when it was all given away. The long running time does not help this. most people will see the movie before reading the novel. those who haven't seen it I suggest not going in thinking its a who done it movie or its going to be like 300 or it's going to blow you away with something new. It is something new but it won't blow you away. watch, then get your hands on a copy of the novel and then leave your comments if you feel the director did a bad job etc. I think Zack Snyder did well to follow the novel, add his little extras and try and make it appealing to those who haven't read it. with so many super hero movies out and coming out I'm not surprised people where disappointed. they got something completely opposite to what there used to seeing. Will it flop? I don't think so, I just hope that too many people do not let themselves be persuaded by critics leaving negative comments.
