In reply to the discussion: What was the last movie you've seen in the theater [View all]cbabe
(6,844 posts)23. The book is terrific. The movie not so much. Quibbles
include the sunny weather when it was the dark cold rain of early morning training that challenged the boys.
The poverty was also underplayed. Especially in races against the wealthy east coast ivies.
I also thought the characters werent very developed.
The German/Hitler scenes standard.
I really wanted to love the movie because of the book and George Clooney as a director. But it lacked depth and subtlety.
In all I would give it an ok.
