As I haven't read the book(s), I don't really know if the film is a good adaptation or not and ,judging by the reviews, it isn't. However, the reviews (not the film) made me want to read the book.
For me, the most annoying thing was the main actres: for a person who has such a crushing influence on men, she didn't have any appeal at all. I was really suffering watching her and listening to her feeble voice.
On the other hand, the film had too prolonged love scenes which made it boring.
The reasons why some characters behaved were very often not clear. Maybe they were clearer in the book.
On the whole, I don't consider the film very bad , it is definitely too long but there were many good scenes.
