October 28, 2005As a fan of Harper Lee's classic book, I found this film to be a complete disappointment--especially considering all the hype it's received since its release. Gregory Peck does a good job as Atticus, but the director's adaptation of Scout, Jem, and Dill are poor. Also, some of my favorite scenes from the book were not included in the movie. The great reviews that this movie has received are a puzzle to me.
