In the comic, Mina Harker was the strong character. This was the only reason I forgave them for having the Invisible Man rape Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm. (Rebecca Randall. I actually read the book.) In the film, Connery is the strong character, and they added an adult Tom Sawyer. Why does Hollywood have a problem with strong women?
Sean Connery is on my cracker list. ( Men I wouldn't kick out of bed for eating crackers.) But I wish they'd stuck with the comic er graphic novel.
