Title: Not as good as the book
Review: I know you can't take a book as long as this one and include every single scene.But, they could have at least tried to make some attempt to preserve what was so good about the book in the first place.The story in the book is much more complicated and interesting than in the movie. It's as if they took an orange, scooped out all the pulp, poured in water, high fructose corn syrup and artificial orange flavour and said, here you go, here's an orange.They made too many cuts to the story that didn't add to the plot and added things that weren't in the book that did nothing to move the story along.Too many unnessasary changes just makes for a messy movie which is confusing to all who haven't read the book.I say, just skip this movie. It's good in terms of visuals, but when it comes to standing up to the book, it fails.
