"Event-movie" of the year - as such this film was introduced to its German audience... Ha, ha, ha!!!
8 December 2002
Oh my goodness!!! What a mess!!! Here goes together what belongs together... ;-)

REALLY BAD actors together with a REALLY BAD story go together with even worse dialogues and acting and worst of all: One of the most miserable adaptions of a brilliant novel for film!

"Pro7", the German tv sender and producer of the movie, had told its audience that this would be the "event-movie" of the year... Ha, ha, ha! Oh well, and the earth is still flat, doesn't move and is at the centre of the whole universe...! ;-)))

This sure as hell was the worst film i saw this year - and i saw lots of them! At least up to the moment... But this year won't last very much longer so chances are that it will remain the worst.

To make things even more worse: Besides the title and the name of two characters the film has more or less nothing to do or in common with the underlying absolutely brilliant novel by Mr. Eschenbach. Several friends of mine who had read the book (me personally i hadn't had the opportunity up to the moment) unanimously stated this and even if it had, the film was still absolutely horrible, with bad dialogues, an illogic story and absolutely no development of suspense.

Perhaps this film should be shown to producers, actors and directors - as an extremely good example how a movie should definitely NOT be done!!!

What a waste of time, money and all other resources! If Pro7, the German TV sender, had only stuck to its original and real capabilities: They are one of Germany's most successful commercial TV-senders but NOTHING more. And... they do a horrible job in film production!

Do Yourself a favour and yell for help and try to run away if someone wants You to watch this this so-called "event-movie"!
