This movie wasn't all that good

It wasn't at all like I expected. I LOVED the book, it was my favorite book by VCA. And I was so excited about it when I heard they were making a movie. I got my hopes up. The story went so far left of the book, I was shouting at my TV "THAT WASN'T IN THE BOOK!!!" or "NO THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, THIS DID!!" Jarod's character was way too played out. There was no need for him to be in the whole movie. And I thought that Rain and Mrs. Hudson's character bonded way too quickly and got way too attached then they originally had in the book. I really enjoyed Faye Dunaway's interpretation of Mrs. Hudson. The woman that played Victoria was right on target as well. I thought it turned out OK, but I was still disappointed. Let's go for a Logan series movie. Although they might destroy that series too.
