I know you don’t care, but I’ll share my thoughts anyway, mostly for others.

I watched it as a kid… in French with no subtitles - and I didn’t speak French at the time. Even with all the confusion I thought it was great. Then I watched the English version and thought it was awesome. Then I read the novel as a teen and thought “hmm, the film kinda sucks in comparison”.

I still have a soft spot for it. The music is amazing, the cinematography is great. The way they handled all the internal monologues was pretty good. The acting was good considering how wooden some of the dialogue is.

But compared to the novels or even the Villeneuve films… I don’t think it stands up very well on an objective level. The ending alone is just so rushed and disappointing.

I love it. The pageantry, half naked sting, the cure that was a rat taped to a cat that had to be milked

It felt a little too fast paced, could’ve used another hour or so.

And Patrick Stewart

That sure does raise something… 😏

I found thr Syfy channel version on DVD, both sets, at a thrift store for like four bucks. It really is pretty good.

My only sadness is that James McAvoy didn’t go full worm in the Syfy shows second season. Instead he just keeps wandering around shirtless with some paint and schmutz on his arm like Sting with a weird skin rash.
