Gormenghast

to a fan and repeat reader of the books, this was a very disappointing production. it really had none of the atmosphere, depth of characters, sense of age, menace or drama of the books. instead it was bright and comical, clumsy and light-weight - really inappropriate and even amateurish. the cast had incredible potential, but they were given nothing to work with.

i only hope that peter jackson might take this on one day and do these books the justice they deserve.

to a die-hard Gormenghast fan, i'd say see it by all means, but be prepared for a pretty big let-down!!
