They already released this movie? I thought it was going to be released in a few years. Not like I was going to go see it anyway.
I’m in the minority I guess, but I really liked the movie. And I’m not that big a fan of the book, either. I think the book needed an editor badly.
I don’t get why everyone says it’s so bad. I heard a critic on Lars Larson go on and on about how it was made on a low budget and didn’t have any “stars” in it. That was his sole apparent reason for not liking it.
I think a lot of this is Hollywood jealosy and angst. A lot of people have a lot invested in “proving” that you can’t make a decent film outside of the existing studio system.
At no point watching it did I think “what a cheap production”. Maybe I just don’t notice those things. I really liked the Hank Reardon actor/character too.
