She said they changed everything, which normally she hates, but that the movie was so good on its own, she didn't care. She said it was "epic". Pretty sure that was the word. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-88624808311655107352010-02-15T20:44:33.507-05:002010-02-15T20:44:33.507-05:00I want to read the book before I see the movie.

But I am interested in seeing the movie. My hubby read the entire series, so odds are, I'll like the movie more than him, and he'll get to gripe about all the inconsistencies and changes. :)JESSJORDANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08915521022827231804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-15370264423512708982010-02-15T17:25:49.994-05:002010-02-15T17:25:49.994-05:00Yup, the movie was pretty decent, but as a book ad...Yup, the movie was pretty decent, but as a book adaption, it changed a great deal of the plot and even some of the characters. It was kind of sad for me, seeing as the books will always have a treasured place on my shelf and it seems like it's impossible for this movie franchise to live up to it.<br /><br />Ah, well. Apparently a lot of people enjoyed the movie, so that's good that I'm in the minority.XiXihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364953168828471897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-58921207703654954502010-02-15T17:16:22.984-05:002010-02-15T17:16:22.984-05:00Alas, I'm in a similar boat as you.

Plan on seeing the movie this week (GASP! BEFORE reading the book...I know, I know...but don't worry, I STILL will), and from the reviews I've heard (aka people stopping in the bookstore to purchase the set) it's suppose to be pretty good. Will reserve own judgment until then....<br />Thanks for sharing! =0)Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-57146631418260787132010-02-15T17:01:58.435-05:002010-02-15T17:01:58.435-05:00I loved it too! I've read all the books and lo...I loved it too! I've read all the books and love them. I knew that it wasn't going to be the same as the books because I'm one of those people that look for trailers a lot and read all the stuff on imdb so I knew that they had change a lot of stuff. I went in there with an open mind and ended up loving it. I know my sister and her daughters won't like it because they don't know that they changed a bunch of stuff. She won't let me tell her anything so that's her fault. I agree with you about Logan too he is super cute! =DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14056849961265154292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-65351201687970316522010-02-15T16:50:16.452-05:002010-02-15T16:50:16.452-05:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Heather. I compl...Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Heather. I completely see where you're coming from here. I felt the exact same way about other adaptations and for once I'm glad I didn't get to read the book before seeing the movie. I've often wished that about others! I will definitely share my thoughts after reading the book. <br /><br />Sorry you were disappointed, it's such a bummer when you love a story. Maybe they'll do a better job with the others. Hmmm, maybe I should hold off on reading the others then. Right. As if I'll be able to stop once I start reading!Rebecca L Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239634586708606373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1209535647948718521.post-4284487651100983692010-02-15T16:42:43.652-05:002010-02-15T16:42:43.652-05:00I was surprised to see your tweet that you loved i...I was surprised to see your tweet that you loved it so much, but now that I know you haven't read the book yet it makes sense :)<br /><br />I thought the movie was fun and a good movie by itself, but as an adaptation of one of my favorite books it was a big fail. They changed a lot of the plot, including things that make me curious to see how they're going to handle the next film if they continue the series. <br /><br />I'd love to see what you think of the book, and of the movie after you've read the book!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096173111325220168noreply@blogger.com
