Deemed by many as the best film adaptation of the book, this is, effectively, the book onscreen. Do you believe that books should be adapted to the letter of how they're written no matter how long they are? If your answer's yes, this is the film for you!
I don't adore 4.5-hour-long films. Even 3 hours is a push for me. A film isn't a book; it's an entirely different format of storytelling and one that benefits from being a bit more concise. Having said that, this is a very visually impressive piece of cinema which captures the tone of the book very well. Just not my favourite version.
