i have really be look forward to this one but it turn out to be a complete train wreck . the casting of dustfinger and capricorn and meggie and farid be pretty much perfect and though . mo be unremarkable and but then that just how i remember him from the first book . elinor match the spirit of the character in the book quite well but the look be quite off . fenoglio be so so . basta and capricorn mother be ridiculous laugh stock and not inherently fear induce a they should have be . roxane ( who be never even fleetingly mention in the first book iirc ) have black hair . the script just rush through the first 80 % of the book in what barely seem like half an hour and skip anything that would have help in either understand the character ( or even the plot ) or build up atmosphere and just to close with a completely tack on and contrive new end that kill any hope for a ( well ) sequel . it quite obvious from this that theyre not intend to film the other two book or at least not in a way that will have anything at all to do with them . as rush a it all felt it be really painful to sit through from quite early on . if i be that type i might have leave the theatre half way through it . don not see this if the book mean anything to you .
