I haven't read the books yet.

I could sort of see the brilliance in this movie, but it was always trapped beneath a layer of hollywood slime.

My jibes:

1) Constant over-the-top music. There was maybe 2 minutes total running time that wasn't drowned out by it. I felt like it was being forcibly shoved down my throat through the whole movie.

2) Blockbuster-itis. Obnoxiously showy and in-your-face where it doesn't need to be. Ties in with jibe 1).

3) Lack of explanations. Ie: the significance of towels.

4) Failed humour. This is minor though: there was humour that worked, just not all of it.

I'd consider it an overall enjoyable film if it wasn't for the music. Because of the music, I never want to see it again willingly. It was just that irritating to me.

1/5 as it stands.

3/5 if you somehow cut the music out.
