Compared to the book I hate it. And Robert Dinero just doesnt do it for me. Not that his acting wasnt on point. But I still see Robert Dinero and its distracting. Alot of these adaptions that Ive seen that want you to sympathize with the monster,arent bold enough to really make the monster look like a mess. Almost like they think the audience wont be able to sympathize with anything that looks worst than a burn victim:mjlol:


The monster should look unhuman in whatever real adaption they do.

Yeah, sometimes it's like that with books that have been adapted.

usually whenever it's a book that's been adapted, the movie pails in comparison to the book. Not all the time, but most of the time, in my opinion
