      Related in name only. I loved the book and got curious about the movie.

      What a boring useless mess of tropes. Brad Pitt travels the world and saves everyone. There, I just saved you 90 minutes.

      It’s not even a bad movie. But it’s only very tangentially related to the source material.

        Yeah I thought that too. I saw the movie before I’d read the book and I was like “that was fine, I dunno what everyone’s fussing about.” Then I read the book and was like “…oh.”

        It’d be great to see the book done properly. I know everyone says it but a multi-part HBO-type show would be amazing.
