I succumbed and went to see The Time Traveller's Wife tonight and, predictably, it didn't meet my standards. It's a good movie, but I thought it was missing all the pathos that made the book so incredibly powerful.
The movie flinched skimmed over the surface, where the novel really delved into the characters, making an improbable situation into something tender and hearwrenching.
There was never any hope of capturing that on screen, no matter how lovely Rachel McAdam and Eric Bana are.

I have decided not to...
(but the fact that we have only watched 3 movies in the past year and NEVER go out anymore makes the decision a bit easier!) :)
Definitely save it up for something more special then!
