Huge disappointment

Rating: 2/10 (4 August 2018)

I just read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow and watched the movie right after. There was so much missing that it lacked context, emotion, and heart. It was like it was just hitting the highlights, which does not make for an interesting movie. Kind of reminded me of the pace of The Room ala the flower shop scene ("Oh hi doggie"). It's as disappointing as the movie based on the book "The Time Traveler's Wife" - an abomination. I've now read all the books in the Ender series and they all run from good to great. I think the whole series could be done as a cartoon or some other digital method. It does not need to be done with live people. I hope someone does that someday.
