The 2003 television adaptation was pretty bad. Will this one be good?

Time will tell.

Given this is Hollywood, the bad guy will look like Trump.

No desire to see the move or any of these actors. Will stick with the book.

If Oprah is involved, NO.

It's Disney. It has Orca Winfrey in it.

No, thank you.

Who is the gay character. Disney has a requirement for one.

Nah, the description shows that the usual suspects have not a clue about the books. “To thy own self be true” was a line Shakespeare put in the mouth of a fool. Clearly fools are in charge here. I will give my daughter the books and never mention that the adaptions exist.

Black female director #BLACKWASHED this classic book, with a Black girl as lead, and Oprah.

Not seeing good things. I bet it's going to be a major flop. I base this on the trailer.☺

an adventurous and visually stunning world created by author Madeleine L’Engle

Who is whirling madly in her grave at what they have done to her book.

I remember reading A Wrinkle In Time in elementary school, but never continued with the quintet as L’Engle wrote them. Not long ago I read the entire quintet with an eye to introducing my grandson to it. I was struck, at least they struck me, that they had a very pointed message in a “Green” way. Maybe it was just me but the messages were beyond a battle between good and evil.

Oprah was outstanding in The Color Purple. I think it was before she was famous, so you could see her as the character.

In this movie, she looks like Oprah in a silly costume acting like a new-age goddess.
