    The Kite Runner.... don't bother!

    (title edited to coreect film title.. though why I'm bothered bemuses me )

    What a pile of pooh.

    Genuinely ... pooh.

    This is one of several films I promised Sair I'd watch... part of a film deal we did.... where I watched 3 films I didn't wanna watch.. and she's watch one I have been wanting her to see for years....

    and this was RUBBISH.

    If you made it into 3 minutes of the start of the film... cut to the last 30 mins and shrunk it to 15.. you'd have a half decent Radio 4 play!

    Junk... utter pants. It missed evey mark, from romance to emotion.

    Utterly dull. I'd rather see Slum Dog Millionaire again and that was... dull !

    This is not the "Kite Runner" is it? As I really enjoyed that film and the book....

    Not heard of the Kite Flyer...

    Yes, the Kite Runner.... he hated it that much he can't even remember what it was called
    TBH, I wasn't keen either despite having wanted to see it for a while. Generally a good story, but could have been told in 20 mins, then would've been quite good, but I found it very slow


    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    My better half has read the book and liked it. Not sure if she has seen the film though.
