I can't see a thread on this. Did anyone watch it? I have just watched the first part. I have read the book, if I hadn't I wonder if I would have a clue what was going on. Well acted and good settings but they seem to have made it too long. |

I did Ann, felt it was overproduced and rather too messy. |

I haven't read the book and only got through a little of it before I lost interest but my OH watched both parts and enjoyed it. |

Loved the book but if you haven't read it you might find it a bit muddled. |

Yes I saw it and enjoyed it and yes, I understood what was going on even though I haven't read the book. |

I accept that the burning was a necessary part of the plot but there did seem to be a lot of unneccessary violence particularly in the 21st century. |

I have only watched the first part so far but I have to say I don't remember the violence being as bad in the book. (I haven't still go the book for reference as I borrowed it from my daughter).I think probably, it is more graphic on film than when you read it. Hated the burning bit. |

I watched it and found it a bit too violent for my tastes but I am a bit soft. I sky plussed it so could fast forward those bits. Otherwise I quite enjoyed it |

I've read the book twice, the second time was when I visited Carcassone - wonderful place. I've only watched the first half so far, though fell asleep in the middle bit. Not sure whether to bother watching the rest, prefer the book! |

:-D I had sub titles on because I have hearing problems so maybe that was just as well. I hate it when the speech 'dips' and you lose track. So far I prefer the book, but I usually do because there is nothing like seeing the story in your imagination. |

I loved the book and the 2nd part of the "mini series" it was much better than the 1st part |
