So, Midnights Children. All I can say is a brave attempt at a fantastic book. A well crafted film but ultuimatley disappointing (it was always going to be really given how much I love the book).
Despite Rushdie writing the screenplay it just lacked all the magical element of the book, which, for me, are largely interior rather than visual.
The decision to have Rushdie narrate it was a bad one. It added nothing, not even a novelty aspect. It was well crafted and acted.. But lacking..
Avoid.. And read the book.
