It is OK. The feel of the book was lost in character development. New scenes and truncated scenes were what connected the movie. The passing of a major character with little understanding, from the movie, left me numb. I recommend seeing it because it is part of a larger body of work. But, stroll to the theater to see it.
Well, I don't know where to begin. I was looking for something else. I can usually ride along with anything, but this was difficult. I love campy. I love over the top. I love the all of the elements of the film. It just didn't make a go mix. It was kinda like you're trying to make a cookie and you get a scone. They all use the same ingredients but it depends on the how much you put in when. This seemed to be the mistake made here. I was looking for a cookie and got a scone. I like scones but not when I'm not ready for it. This movie was a dry unsweetened scones without cream, jam or tea.
