This thread is about the gross misrepresentation of books by movies! Name the one movie you've seen about a book you've read that HORRIBLY changes it. You know what I'm talking about. You read a book you like and get hyped up when you hear they're making a movie about it. Then you see the movie...and it is waaaaay different/worse than the book. Here's where you post the movie/book names and how they were worse than the book. Mine is Eragon. I mean...they changed/chopped off...sooooooo much! I was really disappointed in it. I mean, a few changes are okay. But the list goes on and on. They didn't mention Orik or the Twins, they changed Murtagh hugely, they changed Brom's method of death to a more dramatic(and stupid) thing, and they totally misrepresented Roran and Saphira. All I can say is, if they're making a movie about the second book: 1. I am so not watching it 2. They are gonna have serious problems about the crucial bits they chopped off of the first one. I guess it was a good movie. But I went into that theater expecting the book...and I got a totally different thing, and a huge disappointment.
Yeah I get the bad feeling the Lightning Thief is going to bomb. It's got so many things in it, it's probably going to be cheesy and with bad acting. Plus, I don't trust the director. Why? It's the same director as the Harry Potter movies, and we all know about those. It's got Pierce Brosnan in it: the guy who plays Bond. I mean, Uma Thurman is in it, and she's cool, but I just get this bad feeling that it's going to totally blow. Waste of my money, but I'm still going to see it.
