Negative Positive
Title: Not as good as the book, but pretty good effort.
Review: The case here (as in almost all movies based on a book) is that the book is better than the movie. Still the movie tried to capture the futility of Ralph's and Piggy's efforts to organize the boys. Of course, there were things I didn't think were totally correct. One: the boys were American. Two: Ralph, Jack, and Piggy were the same age. Three: They come from a military school. Four: the swearing. Would Golding sit there nodding his head or would he stop the boys and rewrite the script? Be sure you have an open mind when you watch and don't scream too much or too loudly at the characters when you are angry at Ralph for making a mistake. Happy watching
