WARNING-NERD RANT: I am a huge Ender fan. I love Ender's Game and all the books branched off of it. I had vowed to never watch the movie because I didn't want to see this incredibly beautiful book destroyed on screen. Unfortunately, I fell into temptation and watched the movie the other day. Worst. Decision. Ever. I'm just here to tell you, that if you read the book and stay away from the movie, you'll be a billion times more satisfied.
Now, we all know that movies based off books will never be as good as the book itself, so you probably think my complaining and criticizing is pointless, but I guess I just have too high a standard for my imagination.  I want nit-picky details perfect. I was just super disappointed when they screwed so much of the important details up in the movie, I mean, Ender is suppose to be the tiniest kid in the whole place, and in the movie he's a head taller than his bully?!?! It just doesn't make sense!! And also, Bean is suppose to be even younger and even smaller than Ender, but that didn't happen. They put Bean with the totally wrong group of launchies! It's upsetting. Anderson is a man in the book, not a woman. And there is no romance between Petra and Ender! And Ender's  name is not Andrew Ender Wiggin!!!! Ender is a nick-name! Hear that. A nick. Name. Not his middle name.   And at the end of the "graduation battle," as they call it in the movie, they totally messed up who's cheering. In the book, Ender and his team are beat after the battle. They're just plain exhausted and falling asleep, not even caring that they won. Whereas, all the adults and important people are the one's jumping up for joy because they know humanity "won the war."  The movie totally switched that up. Dumb.  And do have to say though, I thoroughly enjoyed Harrison Ford as Colonel Graff. I thought he was one of the best casted people in the whole movie....
Now that I've got so much of that out of the way.... I'll go back to reading my books.
