I had a TOTALLY different look on it. I imagined Darren as a shorter, younger boy with dark brown hair. Crepsley also had redish hair, not a brown afro. The movie looks disappointing but I am looking forward to seeing what Desmond Tiny looks like (or if they "changed" him) and Lady Evanna [SPOILER, SORRY GUYS] (if you don't know who that is, don't worry she'll be in the later books) Although, they keep calling her ugly, I think of her as beautiful :P & I love her name.
WAHHHHHH!!! its sooo different from the books!!! Dx WHY? WHY WOULD YOU BUTCHER THE STORY LIKE THAT?! It was a simple CHAPTER book! not an effing Harry Potter book! v.v
The movie isn't bad in itself. but it wasn't like the books AT ALL! Murlough lacked purple-ness in his skin o3o I liked the idea of a purple-ish vamp...
There is so much more too being a vampire than that bull their honourable and brutal not fricking pussys plus vampeneze arnt evil their just wrong the books are better
Well I enjoyed this film when I saw it more so than twilight. :) that's just my opinion though - I'm into lighthearted films and I find romance awkward to watch. So twilight wasn't my greatest watch, personally.
@alorahD13 Because it's a lot like the Twilight Saga. If you read all 12 books from cover to cover like I did, you would know why these people compare it to Twilight. The book was highly better than the Twilight books. (I could barely get past the first book, let alone 4 of them) This book had a lot more excitement to it and left me on the edge of my seat. You should read the book
The books were so much better like the lady who regenerates her hand was just added for no reason and Mr Tall looks like an idiot. And Murlough Doesn't serve Mr Tiny
@wolfdude88foster The books are even worse then the movie. The trouble is that the lead character is a spineless worm who likes arachnids. No one can spin that into a good story.
@Guerreroah i was thinking the same. the books r awesome just loved them, i liked the movie butwhen i read the books i was like omg it sucked compared to the book lol
those who think this is copying twilight are wrong. because this is a popular series of books themselves and doesn't have many similarities to twilight.
yes they are making the 1-3 books into a movie. 4-6 books into a movie 7-9 books into a movie, and 10-12 into a movie. Although im not totally sure because they migh not do exactly that or it might not be as popular so they might stop making them.
wasnt steve supposed to hunt darren down seeing how "HE" wanted to become a vampire?
and steve was suposed 2 get bit by that spider and daren has to go 2 the guy that he stole it from to help him save him. And the only way that he could save steve is if he becomes a vampire and he dose and so daren gets pushed out the window but survives & plays dead, then after he gets burried out, steve almosts kills him but dosnt .dam u ppl shood put more from the book
pfft yet another hollywood invention looking to cash in on the Twilight fame. get your own show, we true fans are loyal to Summiit Ent. & Stephenie Meyer.
@robotpanda77 Sorry, but falling in love with a gorgeous women, which Kristin Stewart is, is far more appealing then sniffing around after a hopeessly spineless young boy. Edward Cullen may be too romantic for your tastes, but at least he isn't a pedophile who chooses the dumbest kid on the planet. Thats what Crepsky(or whatever his name is) happens to be. The vampires in Twilight aren't half as hopeless as these.
@lollipopfop Edward Cullen is 117 years of age right? Bella is what 17 that is a pedophile right? Shut up about Twightlight. It is about a vampire pedophile who can't commit in a relationship. A man who can't commit whats new?
I dunno about the movie it followed the book until half way but the rest is crap from that point on. Why cant Hollywood get original and make its own damn titles instead of ruining a great book seris.
...and for the record Darren's girlfriend was Debbie not some monkey girl.
This saga of books I think is better than harry potter so i really hope they dont turn it into a kids film... better emotional, dark and clever twists than any book ive read... they all look really old aswell :S theyre meant to be really young characters...
I really hope they do this right. This story may have started as your average whiney teenage vampire story, but it went so many great places...
They better not put all the story in one movie, like with Series of Unfortunate Events or Inkspell. I can already tell this is happening differently, but I hope they stick to the important events.
Steve gets turned down, Darren fucks up and is forced to become a Vampire (to his great dismay). And was there a villain in this story? Not Crepsley, I mean.
I recently came to the conclusion that this is the first three books in one movie, which might be a good idea. Unfortunately, it's already being marketed as a fun adventure film, which the book was not.
I can see them putting the first three books in a movie, that makes sense. As long as they keep the spirit of the story intact, which seems unlikely right now.
R.I.P Cirque Du Freak... they make it sound like he wants to be a vampire...and like he's a full vampire...what I think is that they bought the movie rights and not the creative rights
I cant believe it. I read for about 10 books in my life including THIS ONE! I was about 11 years old so I remember pretty much nothing, except the snake boy
it doesnt even look creepy seriously the books are scary they make it look kind off funy well i hope once they make the movie trials of death is good..
im going to be mad if it sucks especially since these book series are one of my favorite
hmm...i'm not sure what to make of this, so i'll just have to wait untill it comes out for a verdict....but, my god! wtf did they do to the little people and madam octa the spider?!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. I was hoping that the movie would stick pretty close to the book, but...my god this just looks awful compared to the books. xP
And is that supposed to be a little person at 1:35? O.O
This is going to ruin the entire series, putting the first three then the next and next three together, i dont know about that. But lets just see hos it goes. Welcome to the Cirque!!!!
This does not do the books justice in the slightest. From watching this it looks as if the film has barely anything in common with the real storyline in the books.
And I HATE when Steve called him "Creepy Crepsley" -_____-
