Decent Movie Compared To The Book, 22 August 2008
6/10
Author: Dragoneyed363 from United States

I really wasn't expecting to like this at all.I had read the book and one day I was told I was watching the movie.The book wasn't really that great, and when I heard there was a movie, I wasn't the least bit excited.Well, I will say that this movie was fairly done, and managed to entertain me.While it lacked a lot, it still did a pretty good job at summing up what was in the book.The acting could've been done a lot better, and the filming at some parts got bad, but I guess this movie could've been a lot worse, and I suppose I was happy with it's outcome.Overall, this was a very entertaining and pretty satisfying movie, to an alright book, that I was happy I had the chance to view.
