Over a month ago, I wrote a book review about Water for Elephants. Last Thursday, I was lucky enough to catch a screening of the movie before it came out. I was a little hesitant at first, not know how Robert Pattinson's acting skills were, but I was pleasantly surprised.
The movie stays true to the book and mostly leaves out the details of the old man in the nursing home. The other difference is that the characters August and Uncle Al are pretty much combined into one, played by Christoph Waltz.
I enjoyed the movie and thought everyone did a great job at capturing the characters. For those of you that have read the book, you know that there is some animal abuse featured, which is also portrayed in the movie (and doesn't go over well with animal lovers). Other than that, it is nicely done.
Have you seen the movie?
i can't wait to see this

ReplyDeleteOh man. I REALLY want to see this, but I don't do well with kiddos or animals being harmed in movies. : (
