I just watched this and it was good. Spoilers


I found it on amazon prime recently. I liked this because it was a faithful adaptation of the novel which focuses on Gabriel John Utterson instead of the title characters. Cause that is what the book did. I get that most people probably find it boring cause they want to see constant transformation scenes of Dr. Jekyll turning into Mr. Hyde and vice versa. And just see Mr. Hyde constantly killing people. But that is not how the book is. Heck, in the book and in this movie, Hyde only kills 2 people. A politician named Sir Danvers Carew and himself. There is no transformation scene in the book til the last 2 chapters of the book. Cause it was a mystery novel and the reveal of course comes at the end because of it. I am thankful they finally did a faithful take on the novel.
