2013-05-01 [windowframe]: This has done more to make me want to read it than anything else I've read. <_<
2013-05-01 [Nioniel]: How's that?
2013-05-01 [windowframe]: If four of your friends go see a film and all come out saying 'OMFG THAT WAS EPIC" you're gonna think it's probably a good film.
If they all come out saying "Ugh. Just... no. Just don't. I want those three hours back." you're prolly gonna think it's a crap film and not worth wasting your money
If two of them come out raving that it was epic, and two come out ranting that it's shit, you're gonna think "huh. Maybe I need to see this film myself."
2013-05-01 [Nioniel]: Gotcha.
2013-05-01 [lacklustre]: A brutally honest book review! I love it! I must agree with you in regards to this review. Though the movie was ok, I kind of enjoyed it.
2013-05-02 [Nioniel]: I thought the movie was just about as bad as the book, actually, but I'm glad you liked the review. :3
2013-05-03 [Akayume]: I am one of the people that bitches about how this is like a watered-down version of Battle Royale. at least then we got graphic descriptions of how they died. >.>'
2013-05-03 [Nioniel]: :P
2013-05-04 [lacklustre]: Amen Akayume! Dumbed down Battle Royale! Which they are remaking for the states... it will probably suck despite the source material.
2013-05-24 [wicked fae mage]: Well, thank you for saving me 400 more pages of hell. I'd considered reading it because so many people recommend it, but, I tend to agree with ET members who write reviews on books and movies.
2013-05-24 [Nioniel]: No problem. :P
2013-05-24 [wicked fae mage]: I am of course sorry that you went through it. D:
2013-05-24 [Nioniel]: Not your fault at all. I largely blame my coworkers for continually stating that there was so much in the first book that wasn't in the movie, and that there was no way that I could possibly comprehend all of the subtle nuances in the movie without having read the book. Dumbasses. :/
2013-05-24 [wicked fae mage]: Okay, so you only read the book because of the hype combined with people telling you more or less that the movie left out a lot...and it really didn't. Wow, people. >.>
2013-05-24 [Nioniel]: Yup. The whole "the book is better than the movie" argument has largely been correct, in my experience, so I decided to check it out for myself. The second book I actually thought was good, and the third was just as bad as the first, imo. I'll probably go to see the second movie, just to see if they actually incorporate the stuff from book II that I liked, but I doubt I'll go to see the movies they make for the third book. I dunno. If you like this kind of story in general, maybe suffer through the first book to read the second, and just avoid the third one?
2013-05-24 [wicked fae mage]: But, I'd rather entertain myself with Battle Royale or Basilisk...I mean, the story sounded so much like Battle Royale or any other elimination plot with no differences or twists except the number of people is reduced. Plus, I've heard without a doubt that Battle Royale is good.
2013-05-24 [Nioniel]: Cool.
