>tl;dr what the fuck peter jackson?
He just made a water-down film version of book that wasn't really good to begin with.
Though honestly the main problem is he try to make it to much like Heavenly Creatures instead of it's own thing.

Regardless of opinion over whether or not the book was good, the book sold 10 million copies, you would think you would try to please the readers who enjoyed it instead of making a CGI-sizzle reel.

To me, it's even more frustrating, knowing those scenes were actually filmed only to have them cut out and not even include them as a bonus feature or something.

That's why I said water-down. Jackson version isn't that far from the book but pg-13 rating and bloated cgi makes it bad enough that even bookfags won't like it.

It also important to remember Jackson was tacked on as a director after Lynne Ramsay got kick off the project.

Actually, I would beg to differ about it being not that far from the book. Rachel Weisz's character was completely gutted from the final cut (which again, all of her scenes were filmed but because a test audience had a bad reaction to her character, they chopped it out).

Lynne Ramasy surely would've done a better job.
