Who else has seen it?
So after listening to the audio cd's on a trip from VA to IN I was excited to go see the movie the first day it came out....I went to see it last night at 7pm and had to wait 3 hours b/c most of the shows were sold out.
The movie adds new concepts that the book didn't have....It left out some of the things that i was looking foward to seeing a different persons perception of....Well I spent most of the drive home after the movie trying to explain to the girl I went with why the movie was so different then the book. It wasn't the authors movie....yes he was there during the filming but it still wasn't his movie....the director made his own little twist on it and had to cut some things out due to time constraints....
I'm not trying to sound like I was disappointed but I could feel the tension in the crowd (packed theater) when they went diff. routes that weren't in the book....And it was a little hard to concentrate w/ some guy falling asleep and snoring 2 rows in front of me (now that was funny). I couldn't imagine seeing this movie without reading the book. If I did I would have thought the movie was boring and would have been lost within the 1st 15 minutes.... :blah:
