Watched this last night. Anyone else have trouble following? Left me confused as frick. Had to read the plot on the internet afterwards. Thought the movie was deliberately confusing, more so than it needed to be.

Mini-series was better. The movie was so chopped up, I don't know how anyone could truly enjoy it without knowing the story going in.

The trailer was misleading. It makes it seem far more intense than the actual movie.

Book was good. But it was one of those books (like all LeCarre books) that cannot translate to the screen. Never should've been made in the first place. It does help if you are familiar with his books as most of the characters appear in several books.

The hardest part for me was keeping track of everyone's name. There were so many characters, and they just used their names in conversations (almost like the audience were expected to know their names beforehand). The second time I watched was a breeze, and it was much more interesting. I loved the movie. It had a perfect climax/ending too.

Watched it only for Oldman, but I thought it was tough to sit through.

Yes. Because I do not learn the names of movie characters. I followed on wikipedia while watching so it was easier. Decent movie, probably wont see it again.

I had to turn it off after 45 minutes. Boring, confusing, and dull.

I enjoyed it. My wife did too. We discussed it leaving the theater, and i feel we both had a good understanding of the film. The Internet confirmed this.

I liked it quite a bit. The plot wasn't really that terrible to follow though I did see the Alec Guinness version many years ago. Of course after the box office this one had we'll see even more splosions and chase scenes and superhero movies.

It was a really boring film. Even Gary Oldman couldn't save it.
