Well they F-d up another good series of books


I had read all the books and was really thrilled when I heard that there was going to be a movie. I had visions of perhaps two or even three movies that followed the books.

Well boy was I wrong. They tried to stuff everything into one move and in the process totally F-d up the whole thing. There were important characters who were left out of the movies, lots of important details that they left out.

If you had never read the books, you would probably think it was a good movie. Unfortunately having read the book first, I wouldn't show this pile of dung to my worst enemy....

It's so annoying when they do it. Luckily for me I saw the movie first. I've only just read the first book and waiting for the second to arrive so I can crack on with that but I can see what they've missed out quite dramatically.
I felt the same with Twilight, I read all the books and then these movies came out that did not do the books justice. I did not enjoy Robert Pattinson as Edward at all as I felt he was nothing like as described in the books.
In some ways I'm glad I have seen the BC movie first as I actually really like Alden as Ethan and found it easier to imagine him as I read the books but I totally feel your disappointment ???

Great series and man the movie sucked in comparison to the book....not bad if just rating the movie alone....but I thought it could of been a great couple movies but I guess we will never know now....I know you have to change things cuz books are packed with detail, but to gut it to the core was disappointing
