i hardly know where to start . i be expect thing to be cut out to make the book fit in a movie but not change to such a degree that it almost seem like a different story . the whole movie seem to be such a hurry that it felt like it be just a stumbling rush towards the end . some of the character do a decent enough job honour their counterpart in the book while meggie and elinor and teresa and dustfinger and magpie to mention a few . on the other hand basta do not even get close to portray the evil and knife wield murderer . flatnose just make me laugh and he be just big nosed buffoon . he just need to paint the nose red . i mean they be suppose to inspire fear and be purely evil . the end . they actually manage to tie up all the loose end and which they be not suppose to do . there be a part two and part three for god sake . conclusion represent read the book instead . so much more enjoyable . seem like just another movie try to make money instead of entertain the audience .
