This film basically tried making a two hour movie out of four epic books, and failed miserably. The story is so convoluted that the only premise left from the books is that they emigrate from Sweden to America. Characters are cut, rearranged and now only the first couple emigrates. The moviemakers have basically ruined these books.
They've missed the deep meanings of the books and all its themes, and the characters are shallow shells of their formers selves. I absolutely hated this film from the moment I started watching it, and they're so far off how the books were written it's not even funny. I've never hated a movie adaptation of a book more than I hated this. Congratulations, you've ruined a masterpiece.
Watch the old version or the musical instead, those capture the books very well, unlike this garbage.
