Screw that, I read both Enders Game, Shadow and Speaker for the dead. It might be the fact that I only read those three last summer and haven't had the chance to "love them" my entire life as awesome books as they are. But...

THE MOVIE WAS FUCKING AWESOME! Even my sister and my mom who had no clue and said: "great, a film about child soldiers in space" thought it was a good story and entertaining. Loved it! Going to read them again and buy the DVD fuck yeah!

Bean is probably the one thing I hated the most about this movie.

I didn't read the book yet, I'm one of them people who seems to ride the wave after the movie. I know the movie likely missed a lot of things due to having time restrictions. I generally thought the movie and story was good, after reading the book I'll likely have a stronger opinion, but for now I don't really mind.

I never expected that last sim to be the actual war, though they didn't see to be that happy they won.

Later books deal with this issue of being unhappy. To draw a parallel, the Americans of today are happy they killed the Indians. Nobody thinks that was wrong...

I promised myself I wouldn't watch Ender's Game. It's one of my favorite books and movies that spawn from good books never work out.

I failed.

What a fucking atrocious movie.

Fuck.

I can't help but express how bad I think this movie was. Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

It's like they took the same general plot, then removed all the characters, themes, emotions, and ideas, and replaced them all with action movie cliches, explosions, cheesy lines, and bad acting.

Then picked half the scenes at random and cut them out, and changed a few random things just for fun.

Don't forget that for the characters they kept the names, then picked the race, personality, sex, and physical appearance out of a hat.

Personally, I'm not sure I can even blame it on the actors (or not completely). Having read the book again the day before I could literally tell when they tried to have them say word for word what the dialogue that the book had.

Like, I'm 99% sure that's just a terrible idea 99% of the time...

I guess it's not only the words that make a cheesy line.

Example: Imagine Steven Seagal as a Latino Muslim Walter White yelling "I'm not in danger. I am the danger."
