It would have been a better idea for Branagh to condense the story, or to turn it into a TV series.
Having said that, it's by no means a bad film and definitely worth watching. |
Thanks Prince.
I don't really see over ambition as a bad thing. It's certainly better than having a lack of ambition. Personally i think the film benefits from being faithful to the novel.
