It's a great adventure story, but not as entertaining as 20 000 Leagues Under the Sea. <b>gndynames:</b> I think people were mad because you were talking throughout the movie, and not because you spoiled the plot. <b>lostty:</b> Yeah, save your money for the IMAX version of Dark Knight. Although I really do want to watch both... I know what you mean though - it's not as exciting knowing the plot already. <b>Sakura:</b> Well, a movie adaptation is only the director's interpretation of the book, so maybe we'll enjoy adaptations that we direct ourselves. Maybe. <b>Blissmo:</b> No, I think it's neither. I didn't see any ads for this on television here - just one giant poster at the threatre where I watched Hancock.

It proves either I don't watch enough tv or go out to see the advertisements, or Australia is simply too slow. I’ve never heard of this before.

I tend to agree, most times with a movie adapted from source material such as a book, if it doesn't follow it closely I feel there will always be disappointment on some level.

If I already read the book to a movie, I tend to enjoy the film a lot less, simply because I know what to expect and the film loses all element of surprise. Though, even if I know I won't like it as much as the book, I always end up seeing the movie anyway. As for Journey to the Center of the Earth, it's not on my "to see list", but seeing it in IMAX version would probably worth my money...

I was pretty much sitting there, half dozed off, and telling my friend the plot. Nothing in that movie was any surprise to me and needless to say, everyone around me were pretty ticked off because I pretty much spoiled everything, despite how "amazing" it may seem. I didn't get the chance to see any movies lately, so consider yourself lucky that you got to see something. This reminds me of the time I watched the first Narnia movie.
