Overall, I liked the movie, but I do hope that there is eventually a director's cut that allows more time in the battle school and to a lesser extent the command school because at times the film seemed rushed enough that you lose some of the character development that explains why the others are so ready to follow Ender. On the reading during trailers point from earlier, I use my Kindle until they lower the lights in the cinema, regardless of the light level you are being rude and distracting to others in the cinema otherwise. Luckily, my local cinema only puts down the lights for the actual trailers and not the other adverts. |

Earlier in this thread, I declared that I wasn't going to go see the movie because I didn't want to support Card. In case anyone else is leaning in that direction, be advised that Card won't be receiving any additional money from the movie, no matter how well it does; he was paid upfront, and receives no percentage of the gross.
I'm still going to pass on it, but I thought I should clarify my last post, just in case anyone decided to avoid the movie based (wholly or partially) on my comments. |

Read the book a year ago, waiting, and looking forward, to see the movie. In the meantime I bought all the books this last week

I liked the cast and the special effects were decent, but the movie itself was only OK.

And was Ender really a foot taller than Bonzo?

You really should read the book - it's an SF classic.
