How to Improve - important


Like many, i find myself very disappointed with the movie. Although most "book-based" movies have trouble following the book closely, this film is so poorly done. Instead of ranting about it, because in doing so its a lesser chance of a 2nd movie, here are some suggustions for improvement..

- its hard to fit a book into a movie nicly, perhaps a t.v series? lots of cliff hangers that could still follow the books plot as well as introduce the pasts, order of events and character.
- dont put as many flashes and crazy light changes because after so many it becomes unnecessary and irritating
- to lessen the amount of hate from fans, please follow the plot. many scenes were twisted, missing or added. because it takes time to produce quality, in this case nearly impossible to have enough time to fit the book, refer to my first remark about episodes.
? personally -though not unique- the dialogue and speech are very poorly written. the conversations that took place were so minimal and so short.. a ton of them were only between 1-3 sentences, short clipped and none of the speech held meaning or emotion. Hence why the film would be impossible to follow along unless one would have read the books; and those who read the book would be furious after watching. Again, its impossible to make a Max. Ride film because the book's plot is so large. no film could be long enough to hold it all, so again, i seriously strongly advise a t.v series.
? in the book, isnt fang's hair jet-black? fang and iggy's movie-apperances are so closely related when in the book, fang has a darker apperance and iggy is pale. also, its not clear in the movie that iggy is blind. trouble finding actors? no problem! wear dark sunglasses and dye hair black.
? one thing i do praise about the flim is how their wings are showen. When i read the books, i was convinced that there couldnt be a flim because i figured it would be too hard to have flying characters, great job proving me wrong on that. i also like how the film had the 'places' in which the scenes took place.

please please please take what i suggusted seriously, because in all honesty the film makers need a lot of help with this. Time = Quality. i say either find time to make a long film or do us all a favor a make a t.v series. Besides, saying this a fan of the books, im sure these books hold so much drama, adventure, fantasy, and action that there wouldnt be a shortage of interesting episodes. Especially since in the books, so much happens and so quickly that an episode would hold much better than a poorly made film. Heck, each book should be made into seasons (of a tv series).
