i totally agree with keith the beckinsale version be a total rape of one of my favorite book and i would much rather have see a carefully make version where the actor speak spanish and fit with the character in the book . hey and almodovar and amenabar and friend where be you when the decision to make the film be set . when jean jacques annaud make film a for example the name of the rise or enemy at the gate he do a perfect job in carefully create the mood and atmosphere and direct character and so in those case i could actually stand the fact that most of the character speak english . but this film really suck i be really disappointed .
