I have read the book. The comments on this movie are mild for what it deserves. The pure evil intent of this author aimed at children can not be nor should it be ignored.
He had an agenda which he is very clear about. Getting on a thread where people have full knowledge of that intent and hold it in contempt and putting yourself fully in his films favor you bring that contempt down upon yourself.
Perhaps before you defend something you should actually read the books and know if you really uphold the authors propaganda intent where children are concerned. If you do then get on here and defend killing God and teaching children to ask demon's into their lives to your hearts content!
So let me get this straight:
Its okay for people here who HAVEN'T seen the movie OR read the books to say they're evil, but its not okay for me to say I haven't seen it, and will wait to see the movie myself to pass judgment.
Have you even been reading the posts here? I haven't defended the movie nor bashed it, I simply said that I don't think the failure of this movie is indicative of anything.
