Imma keep my expectations very low.

Think of that little kid who played Annakin Skywalker.

Yeah, but think of the little kid who plays Arry or Bran Stark.

I've been looking forward to this for a long long time.

Im with the It Better Not Suck contingent, or the IBNSes

I have no doubt that Hollywood will screw this up in major, major ways.

Spy Kids in Space.

I would love to be proved wrong.

EDIT TO ADD: Interestingly, I made a very similar comment in the other thread about the movie version, but scathingly used a different movie with babies as an example. My opinion stands.

I've read it.

I don't think they can fuck it up.

I don't know anyone who read "Ender's Game" and didn't like it. I'm just contrary, I guess.

Based on the comments in this thread, I went ahead and bought the first book in the series for my Nook. I hope it doesn't ruin the movie for me tho.

Or I, Robot.

Or The Seeker: The Dark is Rising.

Or War of the Worlds.

Or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Or Starship Troopers.

Or Freejack.

Or Screamers.

Or The Puppet Masters.

Or ... no, both the book and movie of Battlefield: Earth sucked, so it's not a good example.

Or nearly every movie based on a Stephen King novel.

(there are several of these movies that I actually like very, very much, but I still know they are shitty adaptations)
