yes

 

[samgau]

I positively loved the book.... its just awesome.... I though the movie was allright... they just left out so much that it kinda left a bad after taste in my mouth... have you read the book?

 

[Lars]

probably

 

[Sciolist]

I liked the book a lot, too. One of those *classic* Earthman smart, overcomes galaxy, feel-good stories.

I haven't yet seen the movie, is it true to the book?

 

[Robert01]

You, sir, are insane.

 

[Tsaico]

I saw it and thought it sucked... haven't read the book though... perhaps I will now...

 

[Wallydraigle]

I never saw the whole thing, but it didn't look that bad. But I have strange taste in movies.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I was reading the book before I saw the movie. I got three pages into it and threw it across the lightrail car that I was riding to work that day (with no one else around) because I felt like doing something random with it, picked it up, and lost it in my room for several months before throwing it away.

Yes, I quite disliked it.

I thought it was like ten books.

 

[LeStEr]

In answer to your question, yes most likly.

 

[Elledan]

Did anyone here actually ever see a positive review of this movie?

<< Did anyone here actually ever see a positive review of this movie? >>



Does saying that it could have been a lot longer count?

 

[samgau]

Its is a long book and it starts slow... but when the actions gets started it doesn't stop till the last page...
moonbeam> whats more like 10 books is "the wheel of time" by robert jordan... well 9 as of now... 10th sometimes this year.... very thick books... very good story... if you got the endurance...

 

[Spamela]

i just watched it, again, this afternoon. i find the inane acting & dialogue quite funny.

Bingo. Geez, people, it's camp. Not every science fiction movie is Star Wars.

That's ma'am to you, sir. And to each his (or her) own. I liked it (and I agree that you had to get past the first few pages).

 

[Moonbeam]

samgau, I'm thinking Mission Earth. Ten volumes by Hubbard.

You are the only one who actually watched battlefield earth!

 

[samgau]

moonbeam, I remember that one too... I think I got to #7... I couldn't take it anymore... it was still good though...

 

[flot]

That's actually one of my favorite books - but I skipped out on the movie, everyone said it was so bad I figured no reason to bother...

 

[AZGamer]

The book kicks @ss.

The movie sucked @ss - it took the middle of the book, leaving out the beginning and end.

 

[Nocturnal]

I didn't like this movie too much. When it came on PPV, I got to see it, but it sucked IMHO.

Gentlemen, my insanity-meter is off the scale!!

The psychosis of the author and his followers prevents me from thinking ANYTHING involved with L. Ron Hubbard is good.
