Title: Could have been so much better
Review: First, the very opening of the movie is fantastic - almost worth the discounted purchase price by itself.The special effects are really quite good.The acting ranges from good to poor but, is generally passable.The story development and character interactions are OK if one hasn't read the book.However, if one has read the book there is such a distortion of both characters and their interactions and loss of sophistication and nuance as to be quite maddening.Ah, for what might have been!
