Title: Not great, but actually better than the book
Review: I know it's unusual (people usually prefer the book to the film), but in my case I found that Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem, and others actually brought some color and life to the characters in the book. In the book, I didn't actually like either of these characters, but Julia and Javier caused me to like them more.Much of the photography (especially in the Balinese sequence) is really quite beautiful.
