The trailer did raise my expectation...Yes, I agree. The trailer did raise my expectations and hopes up quite high. Oh you haven't read the book yet? You should. If you liked the movie then I think you'll enjoy the book more. Well, when I say like, as long as you didn't dislike it.<br /><br />As I said, I think you'd enjoy the book more. Although I did enjoy the film, I do admit that after a while, the film was a bit of a disappointment. Once again, I agree. The scenes, however few of them, of the action outside of the theatre was quite unclear. Without previous knowledge from reading the book, I can understand that it could get quite confusing for someone who hasn't yet read the book. It didn't exactly meet my expectations that i had built up from watching the trailer and reading the book.<br /><br />I found that Keira Knightley was indeed quite good as Anna, I think it's good for her to take these roles. It suits her well. It's a relief to see her take a break from the Pirates of the Caribbean. Jude Law also played his part quite well as Alexei Karenin.<br /><br />I think the movie adaptation, Anna Karenina was not a total success, but it's a bold and creative response to the novel. It was interesting though.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks for putting up this review. It was an enjoyable read and I thoroughly agree with it. I look forward to any other reviews you might post in the future.<br /><br />Thanks JYC.Jack Yusei-Conannoreply@blogger.com
