Ender's Game is crap compared to the book.
Lacks Peter and Valentine's involvement in Ender's development which is a big part of Ender's character, lacks the Locke and Demosthenes subplot and they basically turned Petra Arkanian into Ender's love interest.
Well, glad I decided not to watch it then. (I figured based on the trailers they would pull a 'Petra as love interest' BS). The Locke/Demosthenes, while important, was probably something they could cut out, given the limitations of length of a movie, but having no real Peter/Valentine background in influencing Ender...
I think this is because we didn't read the book, but my mom, sis, and I liked Ender's Game. I don't think standing alone from the book, that it was a failure as a movie. I actually saw positive points in it that you don't see in most movies about children put in adult situations- in this case war.
