Ender’s Game was phenomenal.
You're kidding, right? Please say you're kidding. The movie adaptation was AWFUL. When it was finished, I was sitting stunned in the chair, unsure if I wanted to cry. There was so little of the book actually in the movie, that I actually say it ruined my childhood a little bit. I first read the book when I was 11, and was sooooo excited for it. Then I saw it, and was incredibly disappointed.
If I was OSC, I would've distanced myself from it. The deep parts of the story were completely missing from the movie. Ender smile? He smiled in the movie!?!?!? Where in the book was there ANY indication that he ever had a smile on his face?
