The Gray man movie

[upperdeck]

Having read all the books I was wondering about this Netflix movie they just released..

They speeded up the process of creating the char and did just a small bit with the back story.

A few chars were condensed/morphed.

They kinda glossed over the Gray man idea and went for action/action/action it barely slowed down and some scenes from the book flt a bit rushed.

Gossling and Evans were real good and its set up to be a series of movies given the amount of content in the books.

The movie had a budget of 200 million so they went all out on sets/locations and set pieces

I give it a A for action and B for telling of the story in the book

Given the general difficulties in accurately or faithfully capturing the breadth and depth of a book into a movie/series, I would say you are giving this high praise. I look forward to watching it soon.

One of the screenwriters - Christopher Markus - is an alum of the high school I work at. He was a screenwriter for Endgame, the Captain America Movies and the Chronicles of Narnia franchise. Cool stuff.

i see that the sequel has been green lit and also a 3rd movie about other chars in the books since its been such a hit for netflix.
