timeline the book be probably one of my most favourite book . i have read it countless time and have enjoy it every single time . so i be very happy when i saw a preview a long while back that there be go to be a movie about the book . i wish that when people decide to make a movie out of a book they would make the movie just like the book . don not change the plot and do not change the character or their relationship and just leave it intact . they never do . i have be disappoint every time a book that i enjoy have be bring to the screen . i really do not know why i keep get excite . ok and i understand somewhat that you can not re create everything from a book . it just wouldn not be feasible . but they change entire gender of people and remove some more interesting moment and change character relationship slightly and and totally bomb at all the stuff deal with the itc and time travel and the vileness of both bad guy . if you have read the book and see the movie and you know what i be talk about . some of the more exciting part of the book be just not in the movie and like the struggle between the crazed man at the chapel and the fight at the mill and the entire tournament . i mean i be confuse with the whole thing . one of donnigers right hand men be suppose to be a woman and chris be not the professor son ( in the book he be father figure ) and the french guy that get kill in the movie do not exist in the book and marek be suppose to be fluent in all aspect of time period include the language . i could go on about all the difference between the book and the movie and but there be no point . i would have to use up an entire screen just to point them out . it be a interesting movie if you have not read the book . however and if you have read the book and enjoy it and a lot of great stuff be leave out or warp into something different . i would say that the movie be very loosely base on the book and very loosely . overall i say i be disappointed . i do enjoy gerard butler a marek and ethan embry a david stern and paul walker a chris . the female lead ( france oconnor a kate and anna friel a lady claire ) could have be good . and i suppose billy connoly do an ok job a the professor and although i just do not quite believe that he be a professor for some reason . i think i will go re read the book .
