It should bomb, and bomb hard, to teach the arrogant idiots who made it that destroying a beautiful story is not the way to 'adapt' it.

I am both shocked and dismayed. Obviously, artistic integrity wasn't high on their list when the producers decided to turn this much loved series into a cheap movie franchise. They've totally rewritten a classic. I, for one, will not be seeing the movie and I urge all true fans to boycott it. I'm okay with books being turned into movies. I am NOT okay with some hack screwing with the plot just to make a buck. I just witnessed the trailer. I am both shocked and dismayed.

It looks nothing like the book. No mall scenes, no girl friends, no super strength. The book was much more serious and dark than what this movie tends to believe. Watching that made me a little sick.

They could not possibly have gotten more wrong. Did they READ the book? Wow. They could not possibly have gotten more wrong.
