I could easily believe, that everyone was obsessed with Jude Law...this one? Nah Also, nothing against Andrew Scott but he was giving off sinister vibes only while Matt Damon had this innocence to him and I could totally get, why they treated him like their cute pet dog.

Also Jude Law’s Dickie actually makes it believable that he’d just up and leave Marge

@@Dumbangel This is absolutely true. Gwyneth's Marge was well aware of Dickie's tendency to get bored of people, as well as his wandering eyes when it came to the ladies. He says he loves Marge, but you never get the sense that he truly values her, as he frequently does things that he knows will upset her but he never does anything to change his behaviour. She's just the sad, loyal puppy dog that he needs to keep happy to maintain the status quo. In contrast, Dakota's Marge doesn't really have anything to complain about when it comes to Dickie. He remains faithful to her, gives her the desired space to focus on her writing, and frequently asks her opinion on things. They're far more like partners. His only negative is that she loves him far more than he loves her, according to Dickie himself, but his behaviour doesn't reflect that.

The show was great. Amazing cinematography. Every shot looks like a well composed photo.

Lmfao it was garbage. Anyone who knows anything about filmography can tell you the black and white noir look was horribly done and over saturated. Not to mention the fact it’s pretentious to even do in the first place, albeit poorly.

The series highlighted how important Matt Damon and Jude Law were to the film. As Tom, Matt had this boyish innocence to him that made him very likeable, even when he was committing horrible crimes. It seemed like a case of a dreamer who got corrupted by the situation and deeply afraid of losing his newfound lifestyle. Whereas Andrew Scott as Tom was corrupt from the beginning, and you never really got the sense that he was ever a good person. He was already ripping people off back in New York, and Dickie seemed like just a mark for him. Likewise, Jude as Dickie had this undeniable charm to him that made it very easy to become enamoured with him. Everywhere he went, he was the centre of attention, which he was proud of and used for his own means.but beneath the charming exterior, there was a cold and cruel personality that would come out as soon as he grew tired of the person, which ultimately revealed him as a villain. However, Johnny Flynn as Dickie was far more grounded. He wasn’t particularly charming or exceptionally good looking, so it was much harder to buy him as this playboy that everybody gravitated towards. Even the way he treated Tom was not unreasonable, as he handled rejecting him as best as he could. Obviously, I preferred the film.

The movie is a Masterpiece that is one of the Best Films Ever Made. The Series is well done but I felt like the Black and White cinematography was used more as a Gimmic and wasn't necessary. The Series will be a Distant Memory in the years to come where as the Movie, I could Never Forget..

The series can't compete, and makes a load of weird choices. Sucks all the charisma out of all the characters.

The Movie is a 9/10, the Netflix show is a 6.5.

Alvin McCarren is such a good actor. He crushed it on Fargo Season 2. More of this actor please.

The cinematography in the series was better, like a Hitchcock classic, but the casting in the movie was superior because of the believability 👌🏼

​@@randywhite3947Negative, he was in the novel, but was a minor character. Ripley considers taking his identity and decides that he could not pass himself off as him. I have read the novel several times and watched Plein Soleil/Purple Noon along with The 1999 Talented Mr Ripley. The 1999 film by Minghella is a masterpiece. It does take some creative liberties to adapt the novel for film and was more explicit with the homosexual undercurrent, but it was very much truer to the spirit of Ripley in my view. I feel that had Highsmith lived to see Minghella's 1999 Ripley, she would have very loved it. The tv series is quite flawed though still watchable, but is poor compared to Minghella's masterful 1999 adaptation. Meredith Logue is a completely new character created by Minghella, but Peter Smith-Kingsley is already in the novel, just a forgettable minor character.

it feel like they purposely downgrade the handsomeness of the cast from original.

The characters in the series behave in a cold and detached way. Andrew Scot character look to old for the character. The film and the book has a humanity to how Tom Ripley is.

We wish them well.

1999 .. sorry but that is untouchable IMO ..

Apart from Andrew Lincoln and the Italian detective, every other actor chosen for the series has zero charisma or personality.

I’m so glad they made a new version that’s slower, boring, and less plausible.

Nah

Series is great besides the actor for Freddie. Of course it’s Stings kid. Can’t act

As a fan of the 1999 movie and Alain Delon adaptation too, this series is just not it. Particularly i deslike the lack of colors. I think they wanted so bad to look "cult" or unique they took off an important part of the story atmosphere. Italy isn't pretty, mesmerizing or interesting. It's just boring.

The show overrall is better, if we can have a younger andrew scott with jude, the show marge.. and idk who, show miles or movie miles. But the rest of characters I'm taking the show version. Everything else the show is better.

The only character I think they improved upon is Freddie, and maybe Marge
