Same! I absolutely adore the book (best Neil Gaiman book, IMO) and I couldn't have envisioned Sienna Miller as Victoria at all. I always expected someone more... I don't know. Less skanky, maybe. Actually, I can't imagine it as a movie at all - I'm afraid that they're going to ruin this because Hollywood always ruins my favourite book-movies.

Still, nothing much I can do about that. I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope it's good. I mean, I love the book... I really should read it again before I watch the movie.

Well I haven't read the book, but from the looks of the movie I don't think she will be in the film that much. And when I first saw the trailer I didn't even recongize her at first.

I know this is silly but I am looking forward to Robert De Niro saying Touche in his sword fight with Charlie Cox's character. This film looks like it will have good acting, good action, good humor, and of course a good storyline.

I think I actually started a thread for this a while back...

Anyway, I am very excited to see this movie, the trailers have been great. I especially like Michelle Pfeiffer, she looks genuinely creepy.

Oh I love her, she is one of the best villian protrayals out there as any actor, male or female. Sometimes I think playing the villian is harder because the best ones have layers, they make you fear them, laugh sometimes, and sometimes even root for them.

There was one scene in Hairspray where she was so wonderfully wicked I thought fire was going to dance around her. I can't wait to see her protrayal in this movie.

My best friend has read the book and I think she's more excited than me. She said that to her it looks like they've changed a lot from the book. I was wondering for those who have read the book. From what you can see in the trailers, how much has been changed for Hollywood?

Don't worry Sienna is not in it much at all. And she's not that bad...

I loved the movie, but I haven't read the book so I don't know how close it is. Robert De Niro would make the whole film worth it though. I laughed and laughed. It is a definate must see!

I haven't read the book either, so I have no comparison to make.

It's out already? Well, obviously not here. Oh well.

Just saw the trailer and it looks a lot different from what I imagined in the book. It feels... slicker. And less magical. But I don't know, I'll just have to wait and see.

For those of you who haven't read the book, go read it! It's incredibly good.

Yep, came out today.

I'm definitely interested in reading the book now.

The movie seemed pretty magical to me, but then again I haven't read the book.

I haven't read the book, so I can't really do any comparisons, but I have to say I LOVED this movie. And I don't use all caps a lot. I don't even know what it was in particular, but my immediate reaction when the credits started to roll was just all smiles. I really liked it.

It had its flaws and I might feel differently after watching it for a second time on DVD, but right now, I think it was wonderful.

I'm going to go read the book now.
