is bad for many reasons. The first is that it lasts far too long (147 minutes!)
Then there are other reasons that are more reasonable, since it is judged by the film footage.
For starters, throughout the length films include boring things. The story comes down to a man with a wonderful smell, which seeks to capture the fragrance that once smelled a girl, and as it is able to capture the smell of women, frustrated. There.
No more than that. And with that, the director seeks a mystique that maybe in the book is nice, resultón, and going beyond that would pretty (according to taste of course), but Heavy shown here, tiresome and stupid of all all.
Le film is mediocre voice-overs, because as in 80% of the time have the protagonist running around sniffing, there is a narrator who tells us what the protagonist thinks. It is an abuse. The voice is so childish an action script to plug gaps do not understand how you can brew here. Example (Fulanito Then, thinking that would get such a thing, he prepared to leave for I know not where to seek the happiness. But to get such a thing happened that made him think about that girl I had known ... etc. ) An insult to the viewer.
This is the plan during the first two hours. See Ben Wishaw (an English actor who promises a lot) instead of talking sniffing and a voiceover that explains everything.
Then there is the claim of Dustin Hoffman, here comes a piece of paper worth no more than secondary. And the other actors are rags script. There are rave in the Bruckheimer-style assembly, ie, faster planes in which the camera moves over the landscape a few miles through valleys and hills (as in The Sea Inside as well), which only become more ridiculous approach the movie that the guy sniff things miles and also strive to prove it.
has many musical crescendos, but not dramatic (Except perhaps the pre-outcome) and has a 15-minute tickets are a real pain in the ass (not poetic or beautiful) are boring.
But if something is bad this movie is for a final abhorrent. A final in which there is an orgy heterosexual irrelevantly and inexplicable in history. It is a kind of "let's change of pace, and invent more asshole end you can imagine." Unfortunate to say the least. Until 2 o'clock in the movie thought it was mediocre and boring. After watching the final (and as longer and rejoices in itself) I think it's a shit. This forceful.
In film I began to laugh non-stop (spoiler: seeing a bishop does not have an orgasm Priceless).
And finally I would add that the book is an international bestseller and has read all the world does not justify a pathetic story like this. As The Da Vinci Code book and simpleton explicitly mediocre, and boring movie without more, give thousand turns to an adaptation like this, to give the first example that comes to my head. And I say that Dan Brown seems like a bad writer and Ron Howard a wimp. I've seen custom adaptations that made it more honor to his literary version (eg, Red Dragon).
never read a book based on such a story.
It is as if he had seen an adaptation of any short novel by Paulo Coelho. A mystical thing, boring, sappy and embarrassing.
