No, I didn't read the
novel--I'm not particularly a fan of magical realism--and I might not have seen the film but for
Ang Lee. And while I'm sure many are finding it magical (and perhaps real, as well), I didn't for a moment. It is visually impressive, without a doubt--though even that element didn't work as well for me as it might have had the theater not been too crowded to permit me to view from the optimal 3D zone. In all, I'm willing to concede that I was a little too grumpy to give the film a fair shot at winning me over. But the bottom line is: meh.
