I actually enjoyed this movie a lot more than I'd expected.
Despite the fact that it was all filmed on the exact same place and that not much happened I still found it really engaging and exciting.
It keeps you hooked to the screen and it's impossible to look away from it!

Recuerdo que la escena de la piedra me traumo senti que habia presenciado un asesinato en carne propia
I have never watched the film but im rating it purely on having studied the novel itself. Golding touhes upon many key issues and uses numerous symbolic references throughout e.g. the conch, the pigs head. The novel as many themses and issues of authority and civilisation running...( read more)
Bleh, just bleh. I loved reading the book in high school and wouldn't mind owning that one day, but this movie I never plan to own.
Pretty decent. I havn't read the book or seen the original but from what I read It makes me want to for sure. Pretty interesting survival story as well as simply stating the chaos of man. Makes me want to believe in God even more.
Visually lush adaption of William Golding's novel. Looks prettier than the content warrants. Go back to 1963 for the more accurate version. Or just read the book.
the original is alot better but there were a few changes i liked better.
Has so little to do with the book that it's almost embarrassing! I was not impressed. I'm sorry.
not bad, book is still better...
i love the symbolism in this movie between the lord of the flies and Simon.
Not at all boring.
Piggy: We did everything just the way grownups would have. Why didn't it work? Things would be much better here if it wasn't for him. I wish he was dead.
Ralph: No, you don't.
Piggy: I do! We could just give up and join his tribe. Then we'd at least ...( read more)
It strays pretty far from the book...but I still liked it.
A hell of a lot more entertaining than the black & white version we had to watch in English class.
this is a very good adaption of a novel that i have loved. it is an excellent exploration of society and morallity that is both harsh and tender, beautifull and disturbing.
We had to watch this film back in high school and read the book. The film gives a good adaptation to the book. But overall the book is still much better.
Une pale copie du premier ou une interprétation trop bon enfant du livre. Préférez la version de 1963 réalisée par Peter Brook.
After reading the book you cannot feel disapponitment watching this adaptation. They changed too much in the film, but that's not why I didn't like it, a movie adaptation doesn't necessarily must be faithful to the book to be good , but this lacked of any symbolism, it was scatte...( read more)
A decent adaptation of the novel. Points for a mention of 'Alf', if I remember correctly.
disturbing, but hauntingly realistic portrayal of humanity's potential for evil.
The book was exploring the nature of human beings, and it showed that there was contradictions in character. This was not shown here as the script seemed to be heading for a very black and white approach. It cut out a lot of subtleties which 'made' the book. Why make Jack a troub...( read more)
