The point is moot with all the drama surrounding the lawsuits.
The name Cussler is kryptonite to Hollywood for the foreseeable future... sad, as I enjoyed Sahara and looked forward to two additional movies. |

A : Sahara is a great movie Def my top four which otherwise includes shawshank, bridge on river Kwai and 10 things. 2 : Sahara somewhat followed the book it's hard to make a novel into a movie and do it proper justice... some scenes I would have left out and some I would have included. but I still loved it. c : The characters in the movie were somewhat like the characters in the book I heart Matthew McConnachey and after he was Dirk pitt I went out and brought a bunch of his movies and will still go see one of his movies cos he's in it (Julia Stiles and Kirsten Dunst or the only other stars I do this for). |

A : Sahara is a great movie. It's not Forest Gump, but it's very enjoyable to watch more than once or twice.
2 : Sahara somewhat followed the book. I don't think you could fit any CC book into a movie time slot. They got most of the main points in, and I didn't find myself going "hey, they missed that part" while watching. c : The characters in the movie were somewhat like the characters in the book. There isn't an actor alive that could fill the shoes of a CC character. That's why they call it fiction. McConaughey was reasonable stand in for Dirk, Steve Zahn was pretty good, too. The rest, well, I'm with everyone else that posted. I'd say more, but poster "Northwest Truefan" pretty well sumed up my take on it all. |

I'm a huge fan of action movies and obviously a committed CC fan. But as much a I liked Raise the Titanic (I was younger then) I didn't really like Sahara.
My poll results would therefore reflect D, 2, D. I accept that it would have been hard to retain all of the book within one film but the characters simply did not seem to mirror the book characters. Had I not read so many of Clive's novel it is possible I might have enjoyed the movie more? See my latest post about the movie goofs.  |
