I saw the film and liked what I saw. This is not the BBC version, by no means. The character development is different, and thats good.
The way the characters interact is more realistic than the BBC version.
also this is not all 4 volumes in one 90 min flick. this also alows for the possibility of a few sequels. and time to expand the plot.
I wont spoil it by revealing details but just say as a die hard fan I liked it
PS I was the only one in the theater to be carrying my towel.
