They did okay

Rating: 7/10 (28 February 2014)

I think they did okay with this. Lots of stuff was rushed through or skipped, as always when jumping from book to movie, but they hit the essential points. Basically they only got to hit on each point once though. They didn't have time to hammer home the cruelty of Peter or the empathy of Valentine. There were only a few instances of ... what the school leaders were doing to him. Some battles were skipped. There is no political career for Peter.
We do get to see some of the mind game, and the battle room, and there is the big plot twist at the climax. The post-climax is abbreviated, but I didn't mind that.
