Disappointed
Went to see the World War Z movie yesterday. I'm a big fan of the book and was looking forward to the movie, even though I knew it was only loosely based on the book. I'm glad I read the book first though, because if I had seen the movie first I probably wouldn't have bothered reading it! What a disappointment: alright I understand that it may be difficult to translate 1-to-1 the book into a movie given how it's written (I won't give away any spoilers here), but there were so many missed opportunities by the makers of the movie to really create something fantastic. Whether or not you like the film, if you haven't read the book then I thoroughly recommend it!
