I am always a fan of reading a book before watching the movie, and normally the book is better but I didn't even love the book. But this movie is SO BAD, it made me appreciate the book a lot more.
It looks so cheap, I don't want to say low budget cause not all low budget movies are bad.
It is super rushed. There is no depth to the characters at all, they are all completely unbelievable. There is not enough history maybe to develop the characters, but I guess even if they had it would have been as bad as the rest of the movie.
It's actually frustrating to watch, the dialogue isn't good, and they have the book to go off of, which definitely had better dialogue. It's as though they didn't know how to convey parts of the book without the cringey dialogue.
I don't know if it's the acting or directing but it just feels flat, on all levels.
