Huh, and here I thought the title of this thread was "movies that butchered the source material", not "movies that were true to the source material and sucked anyway" Uh, I don't think I made myself clear. The Eragon film WASN'T faithful to the book. It changed numerous characters appearances and personalities, rushed the storyline to the point of cutting out parts that would have tied into the next installments, changed a few scenes and storylines entirely, had lazy PG level action instead of the grit and gore of the book, and even ripped off iconic shots from other films. I could go on forever about how unfaithful it was. |

I just don't get this quoting system.. but, anywho: Z451: I've seen some. It's cool they got everyone to reprise their roles. The show feels kind of.. kiddy, to me, though. :/ And there's no reason to watch every episode, or in order, if it's still following the same pattern, of one random adventure, to the next. @nova: Kudos. That site actually seems to work, on my Vita(easier said than done, since it doesn't have Flash..). |

Its "general following" of the first season? Omiting: Jet Suki Fortune Teller Bumi Actual Bending Earthbenders not bending their way out of a prison of EARTH 6 Benders moving one stone as big as one person Name pronouncing inconsistent by same actresses more Skipping the fake airbenders Aang being Jesus Fire Nation being Indian/Middle Eastern when they should have been Japan (based off of culture from the show) And the worst sin of this movie: Not using Asheve Monvie more |

I didn't read Ender's Game, how did the movie compare to the book(s)?

Batman: Arkham Origins was just a terrible game in every sense of the word. Asylum tried to establish that the game, while not canon to the comics, is accurate enough that it could be. This game though, changes too many things. For example, Joker meets Harley only a few minutes after meeting Batman, even though in every other adaptation she meets him waaaay after Batman. Same goes for Bane. Batman meets him at the same time as Joker, even though the two are completely separate villains. Since Arkham Knight is being developed by Rocksteady again, we can all rest assured that they will do a much better job so we can all forget about Origins once and for all.

That's not a film.  But yeah, it did leave something to be desired.. I still enjoyed the game, though. |

It was just a boring, bug-ridden mess. Nuff said.

When did you play it? I didn't even get around to it, myself, until late December/early January. I encountered very few bugs. Think I fell through the floor once or twice, and got stuck having to reload, but that was it. The one thing that annoyed me, the most, wasn't even really a bug:
"I was liking Origins a lot, too.. Until I found out you have to do the Worst Nightmare challenges, at certain times, or you have to start a new game/new game+, in order to get them! I'll have to live without a fully upgraded Batman, in this case, 'cause I got too many games to play, and too little time, to have to start over, now. -.- Stupid.."
Just bad design.. Funny thing about the floor thing, is that used to happen a lot, to me. Just not on anything, in the 360/PS3 gen, that I can recall. Probably helps that I buy games, a year or two after they come out. Gives 'em time to work out the kinks. (; Kind of a double-edged sword, though.. This gen has had a lot of rushed productions, 'cause companies just figure they'll fix any issues, after release, instead of doing good, quality pretesting...
