This movie is such a fucking giant pile of crap.
I finished reading the book Thursday and decided to watch the movie today.
The book was good, although I think the author missed an obvious choice for the ending and catered to the happy ending crap audience, but this is about the movie not the book.
Ok, the movie. Fuck is it so bad. They changed things that didn't need to be changed just to change them, they changed things that shouldn't have been changed and made the story worse overall for it, and I also have no idea who the audience for this movie is.
There are things in the movie that are never explained and make absolutely no sense in the context of the movie, things that only make sense of you have read the books... So the audience is people who read the books...? But then they changed so much and just made it impossible for someone who has read the books to actually enjoy. I really don't understand it.
There are so many scenes in the movie that make no sense, they didn't provide enough character development for certain scenes to make sense. It's like the people who wrote the script didn't remember the difference between what they put in the movie and what they were remembering from the book.
This movie is a perfect example of how to not adapt another medium into a movie. I really don't fucking understand how this keeps happening to adaptations. How are writers so fucking dense that they miss the entire point of the subject matter that they are adapting.
Fuck this movie.
0/10
It should be wiped off the face of the earth and everyone involved in writing/producing/directing it should never be allowed near a movie again.
Including Spielberg, fucking hack hasn't made a good movie in 20 years.
Read the book and watched movie 3 times. The gamer in me just likes it. Coulda def been like a 3 part movie with each movie being 1 gate. Thats the part i disliked most from book to movie. You couldnt get the next clue until u did whatever task the gate held.
