Title: Talk about killing a perfectly good book!
Review: It's not like I hated this movie. I thought Robin Williams did a good job and visually, it was very unique. Of course, I had to be one of those people who reads the book before seeing the movie. And I think we've all seen good books get slaughtered on film. So, although a good movie, it severely lacked everything that made the book so great. Actually, it was practically a completely different story taking place in the same settings (Ala "Jurassic Park"). Of course, there were other things to. The kids die, and when he gets to heaven, he doesn't really seem to care. The camera work when he first dies was poorly edited. The entrance to Hell looked like the stage at a Kiss concert. Little things like that. But in short and without going into a much longer speech, I just want to say that for once, if you are really curious about the story of a man in heaven who goes to hell to save his wife, then just read the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
