Better than the current vacuous tripe

Rating: 9/10 (28 October 2013)

Well worth a trip to the cinema. This was a novel I couldn't put down and as such had high expectations for this adaption. Alas, no real disappointment apart from a little underdevelopment of the characters but hey it's Hollywood. Really loved the roles of Ender and Bean although there could have been a little more of the Battleroom, or at least a windy five minute fly-through of Dragon army's rise to the top. Still it's not as bad as After Earth where I was cheering for the Ursa to kill that little idiot. Very thought provoking ending for children and perhaps we will get to see more of Ender Wiggin as Asa grows up. The stories of the Pequeninos, The Hive Queen and the Hegemon need to be told.
