As a general rule, I dislike movies that screw around with the origin stories. That 10 minute deal seems to take some liberties, but it's darn close and ERB could certainly have written it that way, I guess.

Anyhow, I think they're doing justice to Carter's attitude (which is his coolest attribute). This might be really good.

Yeah. I was thinking the exact same thing.

I don't know how to use the spoiler button thing, so beware ... some may feel that this post contains spoilers ... as well as really poor grammar and completely gratuitous and unnecessary references to female body parts ...

....

Spoiler!


EDIT: Awesome! You learn something every day. Today, it was spoiler things!

I don't really understand why they made the changes, though. I mean, it wouldn't cost any more to shoot it they way it was written. In fact, it would probably cost less.

Maybe they thought this immediate conflict with the army and the trading post dudes helped establish the character a little faster?

One touch they left out that I really missed were the instructions to ERB regarding the crypt or tomb. I always thought that was a cool idea ... kind of set the tone, if you will.

Mr. FAX I don't want to spoil any aspect of the movie, so:

Spoiler!


All you do is put spoiler with brackets around it, with a slash in the second bracket before the word spoiler.

Thanks, Mr. tk13. That was pretty easy ... no wonder I was clueless.

I get that, but that's a different relationship then I expected between Powell and Carter. Still very cool though.

Yeah I was looking forward to that as I am re-reading the first book right now, but I understand that different medias require slightly different stories. As long as it is faithful to the author and treats the characters with integrity I will be pleased.
