Memoirs of a Geisha - Movie

I finally, finally had the chance to sit down and watch the movie adaptation of Memoirs of a Geisha, and I have to admit, I'm not sure what I thought of it. On its own, the movie was lovely, and it was definitely filmed well. The cinematography was absolutely excellent, the costumes were stunning, and, for the most part, I thought it was cast well. Still, when holding it up next to the book, as seems to happen very often, I found it rather...lacking...in some areas.
