i just read the kite runner, and i've never cried so much for a book or a movie. i want to watch the movie for it cause i hear it's good, but it got 67% on rottentomatoes.com. would you recommend it?
i hate reading books then watching the movies because, for example, when i read to kill a mockingbird, the director of the movie, imo, did a HORRIBLE job. things happened in the movie that were not explained at ALL! (e.g., when boo's brother cemented the hole in the tree). so i'd appreciate it if you could be honest! i'll rate you based on honesty & reasoningg

I thought the actors were bad, and I imagined the characters to look completely different. Some of them looked the complete opposite of what the book described. The movie wasn't very deep, but that could be because they left a lot of parts out (which of course is unavoidable, but if you're going to leave parts out, do it well so it doesn't seem clunky).
I wouldn't recommend it. If you're curious though, go ahead, but don't get your hopes up.

It is a brilliant piece of cinema in its own right but I really do think it does an amazing job of representing the book. The acting and cinematography is excellent and it's also incredibly moving. In my opinion, I don't think you will be at all disappointed and it is definitely worth seeing. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
