Fuck that noise…

The one series that ISN’T getting dinged with shit like this is Harry Potter… I haven’t seen complaints like “omg gay just big budget graphics and no story” — I guess that’s because you have the book crowd showing up to essentially see how good of a job they are doing at translating the story… actually that was the same with LOTR.

So it looks like the way to avoid this is to just have a popular book series first, then do the movies… then people ignore the block buster aspects.

… I should blog that… people NEED to read that!

I don't understand how people justify saying that this movie is the worst of the year and how terrible it was. I don't know what movie they were watching but their comments don't seem to track with the one I saw. Man I totally agree with you.
