[QUOTE="Kramodlog, post: 6230183, member: 55961"] People telling me the film is a lot like the book. ;) Critiques and reviews of the books that I looked up cause I was curious to know if it was worth reading. The poor quality of the work seems to be the concensus. It has historical appeal if you want to know how it influence other works, but not much else. At least for an adult with who read a few books in his life. A kid might enjoy it. I know I enjoyed some D&D novels when I was a kid. Sorak, you could trash Drizzt any day of the week! Thank god that phase is over. It had a huge promotion campaign. Lots of money invested in it. As for saying it is based off a classic, I'm not sure that motivates large shares of movie goers. The Lone Ranger is a classic character and the film bombed. It was also a bad film. A strange coincidence. It did get a huge budget. Apparently, at Disney they did not want to say no to the director who also directed stuff like Wall-E and Finding Nemo, and was a writer on films like Toy Story and Monster Inc. Basically, they didn't want to piss him off so he got all that he wanted to make the film. But does too much money=a bad film?
