Comment/Review
I should very much like to begin by saying... to any fan of the books, this movie is like watching some rip-off that stole about... 3 ideas from the book. But, to anyone who is has not read the books, you may just like it.
As in most movies, there are a few flaws that cannot go without... well, absolutely hating. Let me ask you something. How often do you find exactly what you're looking for on a Google search?
I believe one of my favorite things about this movie was Alexander Ludwig, who plays 14-year-old Will Stanton. He gave so much to each scene, and I can only say that he is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing actors it has been my pleasure to watch, and I look forward to him starring in more movies in the future.
Another thing I very much enjoyed in this movie was the choice of music. I do not know why. I usually don't notice the music in a movie, but somewhere in the middle, I was lost in thought on how ridiculous the changes were when I suddenly noticed the music. Why, it was marvelous! It was so perfect for the scene, and I almost found myself tapping my foot (but I didn't because I was in a... well, actually the theater was almost empty, but it still would have been fairly embarrassing).
I was quite happy with the casting of the movie (with the exception of Ian McShane, who plays Merriman Lyon. I shall now loathe him for as long as he or I live. It's not that I do not respect him as an actor, but he was not fit for the role, and through some interviews I found that he didn't even want the role, which I find not only disrespectful, but also vexing and fairly stupid).
As in many book to movie adaptations, I could not understand most of the changes screenplay writer John Hodge insisted on making. It was not true to the book in any sense of the word, and I was very displeased with that aspect. But I will say, in and of itself, it was a fairly good movie, and I would recommend anyone to see it.
Ah, one last thing: Whoever was in charge of the lights needs to be shot.
