It's been a while since I read the book, but there's a lot in the movie that I don't remember being in the book. It felt *way* too long, but I think it'll survive as a classic, much like princess bride or legend.
Don't get me started on this one. I think they made this movie just to annoy me in every way possible. I ranted for hours in person and on twitter after watching this.
This movie was unimaginably bad. Nic Cage was flatter than Keaunu in a romantic role, the story just didn't make sense (I assume they butchered the original graphic novel), and shot selection was just nauseating. I actually tried to take my sleep meds during the movie...but my wife made me stick through the whole thing with her. I have to go find the graphic novel to see how badly the characters and stories were twisted. This disc will serve best as a drink coaster. Blech.
