Honestly, it's a great film! I'm halfway through the book. Watched the movie in theaters today. They did really well with this one. Fairly true to the book. Well acted, well scripted, beautiful (horrifying) cinematography. The story build up/structure is abit different from most movies, yes. Just like the book, the biggest action stuff happens in the middle. The last part of the movie is more drama. But it is well done. I was entertained, emotionally moved. A well done movie.
Will watch it again... And finish the book.
If I had to give one minus point, I felt the amount of songs sang in the movie were abit to much in the last part. I think they could have done with one or two less. But even then. Well done. I can't say I'm a fan of Zegler, but she did great in bringing Lucy to life. Stop boycotting this movie because of Zegler. Your missing out on one of the best movies of the year!
