We must of seen two different versions. I hate how they rushed the good parts just so they could add in dumb bullshit that was never in the books. Not a terrible movie and the parts of the book they kept was nice to see on screen. But not happy, happy, happy at all. No spoilers but the bullshit that wasn't in the books was dumb as shit.
Fair comments however I'm not sure how they could have added certain parts without either extending the run time to bum numbing levels. In these situations the books are 'always' better and a compromise has to made somehwere. I feel they balanced the compromises fairly well all things considered
Again I understand how can't translate a book in total without having a long ass movie, and I am sure all the cool science would turn off the average movie goers who don't read. But still hate all the added shit that was never in the book. They could of used those times to put in some really cool scenes.
[Spoiler] Like the copywriters court scene. Damn I wanted to see that.
Ha! Yup. The copywriters court scene would have been a blast.
