Simplistic and dull.

Though interestingly acted, the movie is ultimately disappointing. Billy Bob played up the romance--the least interesting part of the novel--and left out the more complex ideas that make McCarthy worth reading. (Biggest crime: cutting the Duena Alfonsa almost entirely out of the story.) I had high hopes, but found the movie simplistic and dull.
