You are tricked

The title of this movie is wrong since it has very little to do with the book and if you watch it after reading the original novel it will just give you a sour taste. It may not be that bad if you haven't read the book but it cannot compare what so ever with Ken Follet's masterpiece. It's a shame and i feel tricked since i was led to believe that i was about to see a novel based movie and i just saw a fraud using the title of an amazing novel...sad

The changing of the plot transforms the whole story into a historical affair whereas the original story emphasized the social life and the troubles that a town like Kingsbrige would have encountered in the 14th century. i am not saying it's wrong it's just that if one adapts a text so strongly he must warn viewers by either changing the title or not claiming to have been following the novel. After the mini-series "The pillars of the earth" i have expected something at least as good but shamefully the two productions cannot even be compared. I can only hope in the near future there will be a new movie based on the novel and that this time it will be better
