I just saw it. It was forced upon us by our teacher. I think I am going to have nightmares. There is no character development! All the actors are just like empty shells, ideas made by the book. If the plot in the book was predictable the one in the movie is just plain stupid. They cut everything to make it as short as possible, which only makes things worse. It's horrible. And the music - ah! I actually wanted to throw up. It's over done and makes every scene seem either extremely corny or like the most monumental battle ever. And they left it open for a sequel! Why?!?
There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.
