Great review guys. I was hoping to be the first up on Youtube but ah you beat me!! I would say I disagree with your point that people with a working brain will not like the movie. I never read the books and was completely captivated by it from beginning to end. I did not find it hard to understand at all. The only place I thought it was unclear was when the girl would see something in the compass, and the ending was a cheap setup for the next 2 films.

[yitih]

The movie is OKAY by it self but the book interperatation suuuuuuuckeeeeed.

THE STUDIO BOTCHED IT! They're the ones who fucked it up.

[ljkkc]

Yes i read all 3 books and in my idea the movie was quite good

[ricochet188]

you haven't gotten any thumbs up or down because nobody knows what the hell you're trying to say. sarcasm? who knows...

[ricochet188]

i'm assuming you read the book? cause if you hadn't you would probably complain aswell.

[ljkkc]

they're too stupid to actually understand the movie and they dont interpret it well at ALL

(3) Perhaps there is a basic reason why critics so often get it wrong.

It's like Eisenhower said,

"It's not the critic who counts... [but] the man in the arena..."

Things may look a lot clearer, for the individual who steps off his/her soap box and LIVES.

Anyway, that's one theory.
