Movie?
i might see it. Read the books, liked them, but... Movies based off of books don't usually turn out well in my opinion *coughharrypottercoughhackwheeze*

I loved the books. Brilliant, brilliant. Unfortunately, as poison said, movies based on books don't turn out that well*coughEragoncoughepicfailcough*, but I'm still going to rent the movie at some point. Maybe it'll be the exception.

Yea, movies skip the whole plot or just plain out change it, but It's a hope...

As said before... movies based off great books aren't that great. I could only imagine what part they'll cut out of the movie...

ive never read the books but ive heard they are good. i might watch it i think it comes out in december sometime

The movie comes out February 12 '10. I too wonder what they will cut out in the movie...

I've seen the trailer, and I've read the book. Personally, I don't think it'll turn out well. From the trailer alone, I could tell that they were going to dramatize it. Gotta hate those movie directors. =(

yea the books were AMAZING.. but movies always go bad..
harry potter,inkheart , davinci code.. angels and demons ... and alot more

The movie will be ruined by bad child actors, along with most likely bad special effects and costumes. I've read all the books, and I predict that this will turn out badly.

I'm defiantly going to go see it cause I've read about one or two of the books and they where good and i wanted to see if the movie was going to just as good as the book,
plus if it gets me away from my family I'm defiantly going to go see it lol

It should be good, the director of the first two Harry Potter movies is directing this.

I just watched the trailer it looks okay but Ive never read the book, however its from a good director.

Awesome Series
