Having just read the book I thought I would get the movie out and watch it.
What a waste of two hours of my life! I know that books by their nature have much more latittude for character development than films but this was dreadful.
No attempt at all to show us the nature of the three central characters when they were children which in the book built the platform for the entire story.
Just pure shite and not what I was expecting from such a highly acclaimed movie.
It is possible to adapt a book well to film - look no further than the Green Mile.
Two thumbs down!
