Gone Girl

I have the same sentiments as Grannyknot. I skimmed through and didn't really care about what happened in the end. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

I've just come back from seeing Gone Girl - really good I thought but then as I say I loved the book.

I went to this last night and I really enjoyed it. I found it gripping, even though I had already read the book. No dropping off to sleep during this one although it lasted for about 2 1/2 hours!!

I went to see Gone Girl last night, I thought the casting of Rosamund Pike and Ben Affleck was spot on from my memories of Nick and Amy in the book which I read last year. All in all a good adaptation in my opinion.

I didn't bother going to see Before I Go to Sleep, thought the books was very over hyped and not that good. Will probably hire it though when it goes to rental DVD.

"book" not books.

Went to see the film in Australia with my daughter and her Mother's Group! It was a special 'Spit the Dummy' showing, so the cinema was full of babies - glad they were all under one as language and violence a bit OTT! Had not read the book but enjoyed the film although was rather long, and found the ending strange and ultimately unsatisfying.

Saw the film last night and didn'tenjoy it at all. Haven't read the book and won't do so now. Really don't see why it has been so highly rated on IMDB.

Eventually went to see the film yesterday. I read the book a couple of years ago and recommend it to my friends, who all seemed to enjoy it. The film was very good and faithful to the book, probably because Gillian Flynn wrote the screen play, also great casting.
The only thing I'd add, is to read the book, it allows you to savour the characters and their interactions. For example, Amy's parents have a larger role and you can understand some of her warped character.
I did think the sex scenes were definitely there for titilation and film profit, judging by the comments from the young men in the audience!!
