Oh yes I totally agree. It also helps that in terms of action, it's not as many events that take place so it makes it easier to do a faster paced adaptation.
I think that was a problem I had with MP. There's more stuff in the book they cut out probably due to screen time and budget constraints. So in that respect the 1999 MP movie was truer to the novel in terms of plot. However the newer MP isn't as dark and had aspects of the novel that the movie didn't have so I had a pro/con opinion of MP.
Exactly. Of course this isn't to say we don't like angsty situations. After all, life is filled with angst. But everybody has had some experience at young, innocent love and movement into adult understanding of love and sex. The casting was truly perfect. JJ was also nice in The Ruby in the Smoke. Though admittedly I first saw him in "To the Ends of the Earth" though I didn't recognize him until later. :)
Ah yes Ciaran Hinds. Persuasion was the first time I saw him. True, most of the actors are older than the original characters are in the novel, but the acting was excellent. I loved this novel.
