Books into movies part 2

The best adaptation of this story that I have seen.

Cute and adorable. Just don't watch it unless you are ready to feel like a teenage girl!

Christian Bale is a great psychopathic killer. He is egotistical, narcissistic, and diabolically evil. Gotta love that combination.

The beginning of this movie was rather disjointed, but it got it together about half way in. Having read the book, I spent the entire movie comparing the two. They didn't miss any important plot twists - even the ones that I was hoping they would. I was rather hoping for a happily ever after movie ending - this ending really does leave a little something to be desired - but I can appreciate the need for it being done this way. I think that Bana and McAdams had great chemistry as two lovers thwarted by his temporal problems.

Just about my favorite chick flick ever! I love Sandra Bullock and Aidan Quinn. Putting them together was a stroke of pure genius. Once you add the love story and the magic of the witches you have nonstop AWESOME!!!

Aside from the fact that I had to sit in a movie theater for 3 hours to watch this... I loved this movie. It is another movie with a bittersweet ending. I don't completely hate these endings, but I really don't like watching the whole movie when I know what is coming. A great performance by all! I still have to figure out what is going on with Hurricane Katrina being a large part of this movie.

The book series was much more wonderful. The major problem is that they try cramming everything that happens in the books into one feature length film. The romance between Rebecca and Luke does not just happen instantly - there are many awkward, endearing moments that lead up to their happily ever after. It was an entertaining movie in it's own right for chick flick fans. Once it was over I wanted very badly to go shopping!

I still maintain that this is not a children's movie. There is no way that children can handle some of the things going on in this movie. I didn't know that this was optioned for 3-D, but I am glad that it was. It definitely added to the experience. This movie is disturbing and I like it.

I watched he newer tv series version and it was wonderful. I will pass on this older movie.

I love movies based on Jane Austen's books because there is almost always a happy ending for everyone. Even if things look bad for the charcters things always work out for the best - at least for the main characters. Knowing that Winslet and Grant are stronger actors than they appear in this movie I can only imagine that they had very weak charcters and won't hold that against them. Rickman was completely creepy as the lurking suitor, but I liked him in that part. There is no way that I would have enjoyed this movie without Thompson to hold everything together.

A great new adaptation of a classic love story.

For once I was disapointed in an adaptation of an Austen novel. I am not much of a Paltrow fan and found her to be rather annoying as the heroine in this story. I haven't read the book, but I can not imagine that this is the character that was written in it.

I have never read the book so I can't compare the movie to that, but I did enjoy the movie. At the beginning it was hard to get into the story because I was having a hard time with following the characters and getting the relationships straight. Once I figured out how everyone connected to each other I really got into the story - nothing like a little romantic intrigue to make me happy.
