Movie Reviews of Coming Home
Movie Review: Don't expect the book!
Summary: 1 Stars
If I had never read "Coming Home" I could have liked this film. It is, however, just not at all an adequate adaptation of Rosamunde Pilcher's excellent novel. The soul has been cut out of the story in order to make it fit tidily into a film. The acting and such are fine, as they go, but watching this is like watching a ghost of Pilcher's fine story, and it truly does not satisfy at all. Perhaps Pilcher's books really don't lend themselves to film adaptations. I found the adaptation of "The Shell Seekers" to be an appalling desecration of that book too. They should try to make them into a mini-series.Movie Review: What a mess
Summary: 1 Stars
I am so disappointed in the so-called "adaptation" of the wonderful book by Rosamonde Pilcher. It was a real massacre of the story and changed so many things that I finally gave it up. Why was Peter O-Toole made the star of the production when, in the book, he was one of the rather minor characters? I did not expect all the characters from the book to be in the film, but why were some thrown out just to insert new ones? I guess the script writers thought they were better writers than Pilcher - well, guess again. This movie is poorly acted amd worse written. If you love the book as I do, skip the movie.Movie Review: Booooring!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Unlike most of the other reviewers I've never read the book nor am I a fan of the author. The only reason for watching this mini series was Peter O'Toole, one of the alltime great actors of our time. He still was a pleasure to watch but even though, I could not bring myself to watch the second disk of this bland, superficial, boring mess. I rather hold out for "Venus" to come out on DVD.Movie Review: Such a disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I was so disappointed. This is nothing like the wonderful book. The acting is poor. The story line hardly follows the book at all. And in my opionion there is quite a bit of unnecessary, distasteful nudity. It could have been done so well, coming home is one of my all time favorite books.
