Ethan Hunt Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 They had to. The changes in the first would lead to bigger changes in this one. The mind talk between the leads was a major point in the 2nd book. In the movies it doesn't exist. I still haven't watched the first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I still haven't watched the first one It is a great movie, IMO. I got it on Bluray recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 First movie was pretty decent. Not a bad Hunger Games knock off, maybe actually better to be honest. Certainly better than Divergent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marveldcfox Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Looks like they changed a lot TBH I don't understand why people complain about changes from the book to movie even when the author is perfectly fine with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't understand why people complain about changes from the book to movie even when the author is perfectly fine with it. I don't understand complaining about changes at all. The fact that Percy Jackson, THG and Divergent are ranked as the worst films of all time at my school is ridiculous.

CJohn Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) The Hunger Games, Maze Runner and Divergent all follow the book incredibly closely. Wtf. I felt I was watching the pages of the book appearing on screen in visual form. Don't understand why people would complain.

Not complaining... I'm all for change ad long as the movie doesn't suffer in quality as a result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAJK Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Tried looking if Barry Pepper was in the trailer... guess not Didn't captivate me quite the same way as the second trailer for the first Maze Runner but it did to its job of "raising the stakes" and "marketing a movie that will (hopefully) increase from its predecessor". But, all in all, I still really enjoyed it and will watch it a few more times of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I remember being in fourth grade and everyone throwing a temper tantrum because Grover was.black and Annabeth didn't have blonde hair People wouldn't dare mention Grover being black because someone would se thrown out the term "racist" but I still haven't heard the end of "Annabeth didn't have blonde hair... what a bad movie."

Wormow Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't understand why people complain about changes from the book to movie even when the author is perfectly fine with it. While I agree with the fact that changes are a necessary part of a movie adaption, I highly doubt any author will voice their dissatisfaction with changes on their yet-to-to-released movie adaption (at least, until a few years later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 The first one didn't really follow the book. However, IMHO the alternate movie scenes made it better. Scorch looks awesome though.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2spooky4u Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Looks like they changed a lot TBH But it also looks like the kept the spirit of the book intact. Same ingredients, different recipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I remember being in fourth grade and everyone throwing a temper tantrum because Grover was.black and Annabeth didn't have blonde hair When I was in the fourth grade we were arguing about Beetlejuice. On the bright side, when Telemachos was on the fourth grade he was arguing about the steam train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyneOh1040 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I thought for the most part the first one did follow the book, sans the telepathy. I want this to do well but for some reason hype seems almost nonexistent. I'm 26 now and realize I'm not part of the core audience for this ad wise, but I just feel like no one's talking about it. Hopefully it gets a lot of walk up business. Would love to see this make a play for 150 but have a feeling it's going to do well to reach the first total. Maybe international will see a big increase.

boomboom234 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Percy jackosn was a bad movie while the books were excellent childern's novels . But it wasn't for the surface changes that they made it was purely bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcuervo Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I thought that the first one of this was cheesy and it felt derivative. This looks interesting at the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
