Book to Movie-Sam

I definitely preferred the book. I think it is fair to compare the book with the movie. I do think he used his creative license with the ideas that were in the book but his added ideas weren't very creative. I do think it was successful it was a huge blockbuster film in 2013 and it has promoted the book massively. I think Locke and Demosthenes would've had added a lot of depth to the movie because people who don't read the book before watching won't understand how big Valentine and Peter are to the earth or Peter. In my opinion it was a huge mistake not to add them in because they will never understand the beauty of these characters. The part about thirds was not mentioned much at all which was quite annoying. The last thing is that the movie didn't show enough about the giant simulation game. The ending was also different it would've been a spectacular link to the giant simulation at the end. I prefer watching someone else's interpretation. The movies techy bits were displayed with very fine special effects. I think the author would approve of the movie even though it was a bit different.
