This movie is so confusing I don't see how anyone could enjoy it. I took my 14, 9 & 4 year old to see the file with some friends. In the first 20 minutes of the movie there are so many flash backs, flash forwards and flash sideways I thought we were going to see 4 poker buddies rob a bank.
In the middle the movie is really long and boring but picks up by the end. Definitely not worth the wait.
I saw the movie with 11 family and friends last night and was very disappointed. The first movie was very true to the book and was excellent so we were anticipating more of the same. This movie is a big let down. The makers of this movie decided to "adjust" the story line significantly and while they tried to force in several different scenes from the book they really made this into a long boring story.
We had most of the kids we were with read the book before going to see the move. The 9 year olds were very disappointed that the movie did not follow the book.
