If you've read the book, the movie is a supreme disappointment. Such good stuff in the book that disappears in the movie.

Book is masterpiece! So many things, plot twists and characters.

Movie is cut-down version of book to fill in 90 mins.

Another example of supreme disappointment is "Battlefield Earth" movie. If you're fan of a book - don't watch it!
