Close...but not quite

I'm quite a purist when it comes to taking a popular novel and making a movie out of it, if the book is quite lengthy, then make a 4 Hr. film, don't cut it just so American audiences will go see it. Coppola takes quite a few liberties with the classic book and fails. The acting, besides Hopkins is sub-par. It's visually stunning, but go sit down with the novel and read it.
