OK, I went it to the movie with extremely low expectations for this movie, because:
1- I expected them to maul the book, as most movies seem to do nowadays to suit their need for action and explosions;
2- They moved the setting from England to USA, and from early 1900's to the present, altering the dynamics of the book; and,
3- It starred Tom Cruise.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed the movie, they didn't alter it too dramatically, and aside from the little girls whingeing (which got on my nerves sometimes) I thought it was a good adaptation. Maybe instead of blabbing on about Scientology and his new fiancee Tom Cruise should have plugged the movie, it was well worth it.

Any other opinions??
