Kite Runner: Worst Film Adaptation Ever
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008I finally saw “Kite Runner” on DVD after reading the brilliant novel.
One thing’s certain: the person who wrote the screenplay should be shot. Literally. How anyone could screw up writing a screenplay based on this novel is just beyond me. I have a written list of what’s wrong with the screenplay, but it’s so damn long I’m too upset to write it here (yeah, even to *cut and paste*…leave me alone). Not even Kubrick could have saved this trainwreck.
There are only two things good about this movie: the opening credits (i liked the calligraphy-style lettering), and
Shaun Toub’s superb acting (the rest of the actors could have been replaced with wooden planks).
This movie needs to be re-done.
