SO it's just like the novels?
I never got beyond the first two; just a rehashing of every fantasy cliche in the book with nothing original.Not surprised at all the show is little better.
Thats not actually an unfair statement as the first book was written as a kind of homage to LOTR so is sort of a generic fantasy ...its only in the following books the story expands in a different direction,very like the first Malazan book "Gardens Of The Moon" "Eye Of The World" is a weak start to a much greater story...

Amazon is definitely not going to be making any changes. They even hired Rafe for the God of War series so they clearly seem to think that the writing on this show was a success. Honestly, I think they just go by the fact that it had good ratings, but I think the ratings could have been much better if the show's quality was higher. This show did not have the great moments to break out beyond the book fans.
Unfortunately it didn't do much to endear it to the books fans either...as one of those fans at times it felt like a twisted version of the books put together by someone who barely read them,sure it had most of the characters and "some" of the events from EOTW but they all felt off kilter to me and in many cases it wasn't the things omitted from the book but things added that were never in the first(or any) book that threw me off....
This is hard to get my head around really because you have to make a series like this to cater for the core fans and IMO they kinda didn't but non fans might enjoy it as a generic fantasy series....saying that even though ive huge issues with it i know i`ll keep watching because ive hope it will improve

5/10. This had it's moments but it was pretty bad.
This episode......🤦🏿♂️. Too many pointless changes that are honestly infuriating.
Loved the opening and the flashbacks .
Continue to like nynaeve and Lan but they kind of ruined it at the end.
The borderlands world building was utterly reaped to shreds.it was completely glossed over and it was infuriating.
I hate what they did to lord agelmar and turned him into a proud asshole .
Ok is loial some convenience machine . where did he go after the ways?. This would be ample time to have with the emond fielders. He only appears when characters need to move from point A toB.
Honestly didn't like the casting of min and she doesn't look the role but I found her OK but will see how she fares as the series progresses.
Oh boy the conflict btn rand and Perrin in this episode is straight out of the CW. Nonsensical shit to create drama.
Yeah Mats a coward...sigh.
Egwene rand , Perrin and mat all took hits as characters. In the book there is so much chemistry btn them and fuck me this show has butchered it so badly this episode adding to the fact none of them has been sufficiently developed. What a shame.
Liked atleast they tried to decide whether going to the eye is worth the risk .
I hated ep5 more but in terms of adaptation this was the worst. What they have done to the borderlands lore and world building is just fucking atrocious.
Oh God what has happened to this fucking series.
If i could upvote this more i would...Too many pointless changes kinda sums up most of the show

Btw one minor change that seems pretty unnecessary and bugged me:
Rand really liked Jain Farstrider's stories on his own, not just because of Egwene (I actually don't remember if Egwene also liked them or not). Why take that little aspect of his character away
. Sure it doesn't matter that much but feels totally unnecessary.
They did a lot of unnecessary changes that make no sense and very few of them progressed the plot in any way...also it was odd to me that the show runner said a lot of them had to be done to contract events that occur in EOTW because it was only 8 episodes yet one entire episode(1 eighth of the series) is nearly 100% made up of events that never happen in series never mind the first book...

I still think Ben Affleck was a terrific Batman but Patterson was very good in The Batman and i loved Zoe Kravitz take on Catwoman ....it was a fresh adaptation with a few flaws overall though an excellent film..

Just watched the first episode ...god they got it wrong from the beginning didn't they..
I`am not totally sure but wasn't Riggs a normal cop until his pregnant wife was killed?? and then he becomes crazy and suicidal
in this he`s shown as wacked out even before she dies..
as for the rest of the episode ..sorry but it was just so bloody generic..

under rated a great British crime film Welcome To The Punch great performances by Mark Strong and James McAvoy

The Manitou 80s horror film still quite effective after 30yrs

been thinking about watching it ...Shah Rukh Khan was great in My Name Is Khan

The greenscreen effects of Sin City look like absolute shit today IMHO
im not agueing that it doesnt look dated but the vfxs were dated when the film was made anyway.it was a delibrate style choice
.
it comes down to a personal choice about that style of film really.. me im not a fan but i cant call the film dated when it was done on purpose

"Star Wars'77 was a freak ONLY in USA."that is absolutely not true...i saw it in Australia,New Zealand,Singapore,Gibraltar and Malta all of them months ans some nearly a year after in had been released in the US and the film was still packing them in Star Wars was huge everywhere there was a cinema,some of them may only have been paying a few cents to see it but 10s of millions of people were seeing italso this is supposed to be "biggest blockbuster all thing considered" so the dollars earned by films like Titanic and Avatar Star Wars and Gone With The Wind all have to be adjusted and trying to find people who agree on how to do it is nearly impossible ...Star Wars'77 was a freak ONLY in USA.So yeah :Titanic all the way.

Skyfall ..attendance very good for an early showing ,film not quite what i was expecting but excellently donetrailersbreaking dawn part2The hobbitlife of PiTaken 2 ..considering how many weeks its been out the attendance was very very good.i liked it more than i thought i wouldtrailers were almost the same as SkyfallIt was strange seeing Taken2 right after Skyfall because both films used exactly the same locations ..so you saw Bond rideing across the very same rooftops that Bryan Mills and his daughter are running across all i could think of when watching wouldnt it be cool as heck if their paths had crossed

Megan Fox should be disqualified ...as she cant act

I really dont like any of their performances atm,they maybe good singers but the singing style of all three leaves me cold i wouldnt want to watch buy or listern to anything they do..I also have major problems with the judges,they keep pushing the myth that these people are the best Idol contestants ever and that some of their performances are the greatest theres been on Idol, a statment that is wrong biased and plain untrue....

the hunger games... a good film not worth its 84% though

the david o`russell film would have been balls,he was c****** all over the game with his version changing the whole nature of the project ...im not surprised at all he was asked/forced to leave.. though i do question why the heck he was given the job in the first place
. Sure it doesn't matter that much but feels totally unnecessary. 
Can Johnny Depp make a comeback or is he over?

What makes you think there's no Pirates 6...Disney is developing no6 and a no7 atm...
Its early days but two scripts are being written...one with Margot Robbie being asked to star and the second with no one attached...with the strong campaign for Depp to return "will he" maybe not but for all his substance abuse well Hollywood only cares about money and RDJ had just as bad an abuse issue and was forgiven...
