And I thought twilights adaptation was bad

Rating: 2/10 (1 August 2015)

I just read the books. And part of me at first was thinking that was the problem. But then I stepped back and looked at it as a whole.
There was no risk, no intensity, you weren't worried about earths survival, you weren't worried about Ender. There was no stakes at all.
Let's start with the crux of the story, is it worth the moral dilemma of stealing the youth of these amazingly brilliant children, breaking them down, and building them into soldiers.
I didn't experience any hardship from Ender, or any of the other children. Nor did I see them training, or being pushed beyond there limits. Which means that we didn't see anything in Ender that would make us believe that his fellow students, would follow him, die for him, trust and respect him. They didn't show anything about his brilliance, although I think the argument with Dap and Gaff was supposed to show that, when all it showed was he was whiny.
The game simulations, were so poorly done, I knew the purpose and even I didn't understand what they were doing.
They moved to quickly and didn't instill any sense of time or development our Ender overcoming.
Not only did they butcher the original material, they made a bad movie.
Complete failure, 2 but I finished watching it, barely.
