It's not that I hated this movie, it's just that I think you can only enjoy it if you haven't read Oscar Wild's masterpiece. In my opinion even without knowing about the book it couldn't aspire to be anything more than an average production but, for someone who loves the original as much as I do, the movie falls short of expectations changing both important plot points and little details with no apparent reason and with no real consequence ... generally speaking it lacks the intense and frantic vibe you get from the book.

A good movie that adapts some events from the books while significantly altering others. In my opinion, the weakest point of the movie is the character dialogues. While the book is deep and makes us reflect on various issues, the movie simplifies things a lot and fails to convey the same complexity as the original work.

Handballs it in on just about every important (and engaging) aspect of the actual _Portrait of Dorian Gray_ story.

_Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._

It's a shame that such a theoretically perfect Dorian Gray as Stuart Townsend was wasted on The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure, at 31, Townsend was arguably too old for the role in 2003, and even more so in 2009, the year this Dorian Gray was released; he was also too expressive, and based More

How Ominous!

Another adaptation of the Oscar Wilde story. Film is about Dorian Gray (Ben Barnes), a man taken by the hedonism bug shown to him by Lord Wotton (Colin Firth). Upon having his portrait painted, Dorian comes to never age, but at what cost?

Clearly not faithful to the literary sourc More
