No indeed! We are not strong,
But we know Peoples that are.
Yes, and we'll guide them along
To smash and destroy you in War!
We shall be slaves just the same?
Yes, we have always been slaves,
But you – you will die of the shame,
And then we shall dance on your graves!

Re: Ender's Game

Never read the books but watched the movie. I thought it was quite entertaining. Two thumbs up from me.

Wonder why my post count is so low? Thats because I was deleted. Why you may ask?
Well, thats because I exposed the truth about Zeratul and Admin Jason had to cover it up.

Re: Ender's Game

Hadn't read the book, thus the fact I didn't expect the end of this movie...

I creep though shadows
I rise up at night
I live just inside you
And give you a terrible fright
I walk through the darkness
I lurk under your bed
I live in your wardrobe
I creep up in the shed.
I tiptoe through the corridor
I follow you anywhere
I rip your braveness apart
And never ever care
I am fear so don't come near..

Re: Ender's Game

I enjoyed the movie. However, I feel like those that haven't read the book may be missing some things that add a bit to the plot. I watched it with a friend, and he seemed to get it all just fine (He didn't read the book), although I had to add a bit of commentary to fill in some blanks.

Just watched it on dvd - definitely, meh. The kids' training was like a younger version of Starship Troopers without any of the irony. And the militaristic ethos they were trying to enthuse the kids was hinky 8-[

Younger version of Starship Troopers with less nudity, blood and gore.
