Review of Slaughterhouse-Five (1972) by Ryan P — 06 Jun 2009

For having been done n 1972, the feel of this movie was very much the same as when reading the book. Obviously, the book is always better than the movie, especially when we're talking about Vonnegut. The movie did a very honorable job portraying all the characters in almost the exact way that I pictured them while reading the book.

Overall, the movie by itself was very good. Instead of constantly jumping around though, like the book did, it tried to keep all the story lines mostly in order of how they would have happened in the main characters life. The direction was fantastic, the sets were amazing considering some of the movie seemed on a lower budget than expected, and the acting was mostly good. It is definitely deserving of your enjoyment.
