Yet another Stark dead too quickly!

Now before I start l am not the type that will rate a film badly because all fantasy must be compared to LOTR or GOT but come on this started out great with John Stark/Snow to be replaced by some pretty boy who stood out like a person of today 2015 wandering around a film set well in to the past and I just laughed thinking how everyone thought Sean bean would be a main character not to die so quickly as I thought of his son (metaphorically speaking) when I started watching this only for poor John Snow to lasts miserable 5-10mins at most.

Now I did say I am not the type to downvote fantasy comparing one film or show to another but I just found this a funny coincidence but what I will complain about is a great actor is replaced by someone completely inferior which happened here automatically putting a dampner on the film. Kit Haringtons small part at the start was good but then when this other guy came in I just felt oh no love story for the teens ahead but I will give it a chance none the less

Kit Harrington's small role at the start was poison for Ben Barnes. The whole movie I found myself thinking that Harrington would have been far more capable in the main role, and I say that as someone who was unfortunate enough to see Pompeii. Barnes' screen presence is in minus figures.
