The movie has grown on me a little, but it just bothers me that specific lines that I loved ended up getting cut, or how everyone seems to touch the unicorn all the time despite that being a major device for showing schmendrick's insecurities and distain. The themes on mortality were mostly cut and the little bit they left just felt obligatory and held no weight. I loved the dream meetings at the end of the book and the conversation with Lir but those got cut and replaced in a weird way. It also bothered me how towards the end before Lir's sacrifice, they rushed through his conversation with schmendrick and took away his good lines while attributing the final push towards his heroism onto Lir despite it having originally been egged on by schmendrick. I'm less bothered by how they cut the scenes where they traveled before running into the band of thieves, though I would've liked the scene of the unicorn in the field with the animals. The movie cutting Hagsgate and the curse out only mildly made things weird but they got it to work out even if I'd have rather they kept it in to further the character of Lir as well as showing off schmendrick's behavior with the money.
The movie did have one thing over the book, Christopher Lee was perfect as Haggard and I loved his monologue better than the one in the book that focused too much on Lir, would've loved if they kept the conversation he had with Lir while they were standing guard at the gate.
