My Girl liked it even more than I did

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2013)

After reading all the associated books, I was worried and excited to see the movie as soon as it opened.
Wow, what a great story! My sincere appreciation to all involved for bringing this to life on the screen for all those that will not ever consider reading the many books, and for those of us that did. You did us proud! You have managed to do the impossible, yes, it was "AS GOOD AS" the books.
My wife has heard me talk about the stories until she was tired of pretending to be interested. She isn't a science fiction nut and generally hates movies about space. She found this movie delightful, entertaining, and would almost consider watching it again.
I am going to see it again, and this time take the kids! Possibly there will be sequels, or possibly even a companion film (Ender's Shadow)?
