I’d say go see the version with Winona Rider and Christian Bale and Susan Serandon and Kirstin Dunst. It’s a thousand times better! This new version didn’t follow the book, was choppy, confusing, and left no time to get to know and care for the characters! It jumped around too much, the characters weren’t sentimental or believable. I was very disappointed. So were the two people I went to the movie with. We all came away disappointed! I sat there waiting for it to end. I highly recommend the one with Winona! I cried and laughed and was attached to each character. It also followed the beautiful book. This version created one hot mess!
