By now you've seen the trailers for Gone Girl and possibly even seen the movie..or read the book.
I both read the book and watched the movie and I must say to my surprise I was very impressed by the movie's depiction of the book.
Since reading the book I have gotten over my initial betrayal so when watching the movie I really tried to focus on how true to the story the big screen depicted. Aside from a few very minor details like Tanner Bolt's wife not being included and Neil Patrick Harris wasn't exactly how I pictured Desi to be, everything else was pretty dead on.
Ben Afleck was pretty much exactly who I pictured in my mind as Nick when reading the book so it was a pleasant surprise that he was able to capture the essence of Nick to a T.
Rosamund Pike perfectly captured Amy's crazy eyes and psychotic behavior as well. I especially enjoyed her pudding eating scenes for some odd reason. I felt like it really mimicked how I felt Amy was acting in the book.
I would also like to note how much I liked the actual promotion of the movie. The trailers really evoked chills as well as the www.findamazingamy.com teaser page.
If only all book to movie adaptations could do as good a job as this one. *hint hint 50 shades of grey*
