Wow, mileage varies, I guess. I thought Yates was a hack this time around.
The story last time leant to this, but I rather liked the montages and the use of moving-photo newspapers, and the joke of nailing proclaimation after proclaimation to the same wall. These cinematic, montagean tools helped condense the book nicely, allowing 50 pages to be communicated in 20 seconds. It's very filmic, and the kind of condencing I prefer over simply leaving things out ... especially when, as in the case of the new film, leaving certain things out makes other things left in completely senseless and moot. (cough*vanishing cabinet*cough)
