It's been awhile since I've done a movie review. Last night I went to see Gone Girl with my mom, grandma, and younger sister. I was the only one of us who had read the book. You can read my book review here. I honestly didn't want to see this movie at first because I'm not a huge Ben Affleck fan. A TON of people recommended it and I was curious to see how well they adapted to the book. First off the casting was pretty perfect to how I pictured them while I read. Each character was exactly true to the book. It was also just as suspenseful and I already knew what was going to happen! The adaptation wasn't as well as I hoped but I went in knowing it probably wouldn't be. That is always my advice if I have read a book before I see the film. Go in open minded because then you can't be disappointed. Some details changed and some parts were left out but it was nothing major. I only noticed because I had read it. I should warn you that there are a couple of sex scenes but it only lasts a few seconds. There is also a pretty graphic scene and if you are like me just close your eyes. Overall, I did really enjoy the film. I probably won't buy the DVD but I'm glad I went. The book was SO much better in my opinion. Isn't that usually the case? Did you any of you see this movie? Tell me your thoughts!
