Read the multiple threads here that include interviews with this author.......you’ll quickly change your mind.
He’s bad news. There is a special place in Hell for his type.
If you’ll read those threads, you’ll note what I have said on them.
The author is despicable. That being said, I have addressed what I have seen. That is all. Once again, did I advocate kids go see this? Did I advocate kids read the books? Did I suggest adults go see this? In all cases no.
Medvid’s concern with the first movie was related to the depiction of one individual who was unquestionably bad. That figure was not the main bad figure, so it’s a tough call to say that person was the focus.
It’s my opinion that the first movies is benign. That being said, it’s certain movies two and three won’t be. It’s a certainty that the books aren’t. I see the first movie as a loss leader. It was out there to entice. I’m glad the American public seems to have seen through that ploy.
