I was one of the few that had seen the film before reading this book and i always wondered how everyone could have thought the film was so much worse than the book as i didnt think the film was all that bad. But after reading this, i can sort of see why people thought it. The director managed to transform what should be a fun treasure trail romp into something inert and borderline dreary in the film. Whereas in the book the whole story seems credible, but comes across ludicrous on the big screen.
The second one is even worse. To be fair there were some good parts and it was worth a watch as an easy to watch film to waste and afternoon, but most of it was so over the top and complicated that it was easily forgotton.
