it was definitely one of the slower novels, Xenocide was my favourite. Fuckin piggys

You can't leave out the Shadow series either... it would take them a century to get all these to film


I hope they dont ruin all the books with movies

I havn't seen the movie for Ender's Game yet, but the book was great. I always toyed with the idea of how great a movie would be but now its here I have a dreaded d3 feeling

the only problem I could have forseen with them making a movie about it is the age groups of the people in the book

The movie imo was trash. I hated it after 10 minutes.

They literally screwed up or just plain ignored every single important part of the story in the book. The movie is literally a shell of the story, they could have increased run time by 30-40 minutes and paced it much better with the important parts intact. But they decided to make a piece of shit akin to the dragon ball or Last Airbender movies.

Any movie that has a kid/young teen used as a hero turns me right off.

Most kid actors suck. That one did, very much. No credibility. I'm usually extremely lenient with movies in general. I'll tolerate poor plots, etc. Kid hero? You lost me. Fucking sucks dicks.

I guess the money just kept piling up until eventually it got to the point where Card couldn't turn it down, even though it meant selling Ender out.

Dont blame "child hero" concept for bad writing/directing/fucking everything. Thats like blaming any major star in any bad movie they have been in. Green lantern was trash but was it ryan renolds fault? Not really.

I am trying to think of a decent movie that Ryan Reynolds was a part of, but for the life of me I cannot do it.
