Title: Very poor
Product review: No film of a book will ever, ever match up to what images have been conjured in ones imagination, with this in mind I was prepared for the let down. However, no matter how much I have tried I cannot get myself to like it. Prunesquallor for one seems more serious than in the novel, his annoying laughs are missed. Another thing, the dialogue seems so cheesy on film, it is unwatchable at times. To be fair this isnt the worst adaption of a great work of literature, some performances (Steerpike's for one) are not bad. I just think that this could have been great, if only Terry Gilliam had got to it first. A dark trilogy turned into a light comic drama, if you like that sort of thing and havent read the books then you might like it, if you have read them then try not to allow your memory to be tainted.
