Product Information
Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak book series for young readers takes a bite out of the screen with this adaptation from writer-director Paul Weitz (ABOUT A BOY). When 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) attends a circus sideshow, he gets far more than just a few hours of gaping at the strange performers. Vampire Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly) makes Darren into one of his own, and the teen soon joins the tour, traveling along with the bearded lady (Salma Hayek) and the barker (Ken Watanabe) as he's drawn into a war between the supernatural creatures. Patrick Fugit, Orlando Jones, Willem Dafoe, and Jane Krakowski co-star.Product Identifiers

ALARMINGLY ENTERTAINING
I watched this on Netflix because I thought I recognized part of the title, but I couldn't remember where from. (Now I realize I must have seen it in a bookstore in passing.) So the film was my first exposure to this franchise. I thought it was a blast! In the first forty seconds I was so caught off-guard by the sheer *whattheheckitude* of the opening hook.... that I decided to keep watching. I was only killing time doing laundry; I'd thought to just switch it off whenever I got bored. But that point never came. As of this writing I have seen the film, and listened to the first four books in audio format. Both are engaging and entertaining. I see a lot of hate for the film from book fans, but having begun listening to the books myself, I begin to understand and respect the choices the filmmakers made for the movie. Books and films are two very different mediums. It is impossible to tell the exact same story through each. The books are great, but if the filmmakers had been more true to them.... well first of all the movie probably would have been rated R! Also, it would have carried on for hours and hours and I think the plot would have felt sluggish, as the books do feel slightly episodic. The filmmakers had to compact some elements for run time, and cut some others completely. Naturally, this changed the overall flavor of the story. But you know what? For how much this altered the tone, I think they did an *excellent* job making a story that could stand up well and deliver solid entertainment. With some elements cut and the original flavor gutted, they had to add in a few new elements of their own. And while some of these run in direct contrast to what was written in the books (like some of Mr. Crepsley's mannerisms, the spider's temperament, SEVERAL cirque performers' appearances, relationships and backstories), I think they were the perfect choices for the tone the movie was trying to set. The books are depressing, I ain't gonna lie. They offer deep and creepy stories that leave you feeling pensive for a few days. They are the kind of stuff that makes people create fanart just for catharsis. They are excellent, penetrating and thought-provoking. But the movie? The movie wants you to have a good time. And you will. Great performances by the big names, decent acting from the younger ones, a quick pace throughout, and no shortage of alarming moments---be they hilarious or terrifying---that will keep you thoroughly engaged. The ending does feel a bit left open---it's a shame they never followed through with sequel films to tie it up---but all in all, I'd say this is a good, solid flick for a good time, and you *will* be entertained. Bring a friend.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
