As one of the worlds most jaded, bitter critics of source-material-rape and book-to-film-shit-translations, I have not been this disappointed since I was vaginally spat out into this fucked reality.

This is a fucking multimillion dollar, month-late April-fools day joke. I could honestly, physically kill people for this.

@artician

We hear you. Pretty amazingly awful.

I can't believe Card finally caved in and let them cast Ender as an older teen, all for the sake of onscreen romance. /puke

He is almost as tall as Harrison Ford.

and then the collective nerd rage reached such an apocalyptic crescendo that the angels in heaven wept tears of blood,demons cowered in fear and mother earth heaved in cataclysmic revulsion.
the peoples of the world gasped in utter awe at the sheer force and ferocity that was to become known as nerdegeddon.


so..
uh..yeah.im still gonna go see it because i am compelled to.

Adding video to channels (Commercial, Scifi) - requested by ant.

*sigh* Could they possibly give anything more away with the trailer?

Anyways, it will always be an issue compressing a dense 384 page book into 1:30. The movie is just going to be disappointing.

Side note: there doesn't seem to be added romance. That's Ender hugging his sister.

Heh, the way trailers are these days you can save yourself ten bucks and just watch the trailer. And it's not really the condensing of the plot that bothers me, I can understand that, although I'd have to see the full movie to pass final judgement on that part of it. My comments about the romance were based on not just the trailer but things I had heard about the film a while back and that one of the reasons Ender is older is to add some kind of romance to the plot.
This was something that Card repeatedly fought against when negotiating the film rights earlier on, I did at least respect him for sticking to his guns on that point and was disappointed to see him retreat on the issue. (although, after doing more reading on this perhaps I spoke too soon on the romance angle, so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.)

Loved the book. This doesn't look that bad, considering movies are almost always worse than the book. Many of those locations were very like how I imagined them while reading, although, unfortunately, Ender looks way older than he would have been when he first entered Battle School. I'm still going to see it.
