Kruistocht in spijkerbroek (2006)
Awfull, cringing
I've read the book, this was nothing like it. Just banking on the name recognition to get people to watch it.
The book story is about friendship, loyalty, growing up and so much more...
This film adaptation is incredibly bad. The characters are dumb and unlikable. The conversations are unbelievable, even the actors don't believe what they are saying. And you never get to see any of the characters grow into friendship or love. The storyline jumps from one shot to another, often overlayed with music that makes it even more unrelatable.
The worst part: a 5 second piece showing the crossing of the Alps by showing some kids struggling in the snow. Next image, we're crossed and the sun shines again. OMG, has anyone read the book? Even the scarlet death gets under 2 minutes of screen time. After all, who cares about sick children? There's no action there, right? Stop the march, heal, next scene.
They just took the 'action' parts of the book. Common deaths are brushed off in a few seconds, sometimes with some crying, just to cut to the next scene. But learning to swordfight and showing fights gets all the attention. Yes, that's important.
Worst adaptation ever. Director, get another job and stay away from film making, please!
