Summary: old version was better
Review: This film is completly stupid compared to the book, its as if they concentrated mainly on the gore and swearing, when they don't manage to get the main point across about the darkness of a man's heart. If I were you, i would buy the older version, it makes it much more real..

Summary: Please ignore all comparisons to the book...
Review: The Lord of the Flies, as we all know, is a classic. And, while the book does provide a chilling look into how tenuous our grip on 'humanity' really is, it is rather timid. I tend to believe Sir Golding was limited by cultural mores at its writing and would, himself, be spellbound by this interpretation of his classic.If you are looking for a word-for-word regurgitation of the book, then a) get a life, and b) skip the movie. If you're disturbed by cursing, half-naked savage boys, you're missing the whole point and will not enjoy the movie. Save yourself the anguish, and enjoy an episode of 'Friends' or 'Full House'. If , however, you are brave enough to face what man really is, what atrocities even the most 'civilized' among us (including you) are capable of doing-- please do not miss this movie. You will be left speechless by the incredible score and breathtaking cinematography, and haunted by this movie several days after.

Summary: Not as good as the book, but pretty good effort.
Review: The case here (as in almost all movies based on a book) is that the book is better than the movie. Still the movie tried to capture the futility of Ralph's and Piggy's efforts to organize the boys. Of course, there were things I didn't think were totally correct. One: the boys were American. Two: Ralph, Jack, and Piggy were the same age. Three: They come from a military school. Four: the swearing. Would Golding sit there nodding his head or would he stop the boys and rewrite the script? Be sure you have an open mind when you watch and don't scream too much or too loudly at the characters when you are angry at Ralph for making a mistake. Happy watchingŠ

Summary: uh huh .....
Review: pretty straight forward and mostly uninteresting . in the novel there is greater detail about each character and more references to the monster . this sint done here and that results in a lack of interest for at least half of the movie which is already short in length . there is some effort made by jack and ralph to make the movie pick up some steam , and when the the kids split up there's some intensity , but it is maliciously marred by dimwitted dialogue ( " okay dork just asking ! " )

Review: After reading the book and seeing the film made in the early sixties I was tempted to rent this,well I did.All I can say is this film was BAD,don't see it.If you want to experience it read the book or see the old film version but don't waste your time with this filth.

Summary: Brilliant Movie Beyond Grasp of Many
Review: Beware of any reviewer who compares a movie with a book. This type of comparison is meaningless and assumes that a director, screenwriter, and actors have no right for artistic liberty. Whenever I see such a comparison it becomes obvious that the reviewer is incapable of thinking for him/herself and cannot divorce him/herself from preconceived notions of what they should be seeing. Lord of the Flies is a brilliant movie. The characterization, cinematography and screenplay were very well done. This movie is a must-see for those viewers who want to consider what children are capable of doing if the situation is just right. The human capacity for violence is never to be underestimated. This movie, along with Stand By Me, Radio Flyer, Sling Blade, and Little Boy Blue should be on your list!! I highly recommend.

Summary: BAD
Review: I hated the video so much that I had to find a way to vent my dissapointment. I read the book in high school and it quickly became one of my favorites. When I saw they remade the movie I was hoping that maybe someone would follow the storyline of this classic. But no, once again they tore the roots out of the entire meaning of it. The story was much more intense when they weren't militrary cadets. Wasn't that the point? Isn't that what made the book so deep? It did for me. BAD. BAD. BAD. Maybe someone will do it right someday. I would love to see it. The only movie that I hate just as much (Maybe) is the TV Movie "Noahs Ark".
