I have read some of the books in the series and enjoyed the movie for what it was. I really liked Butterfield as Ender. I'm glad they didn't tone down the brutality of the kids as much as I was expecting them to.
There was just too much subject matter to put into a 2 hour movie which flew by. I don't know what people were expecting them to do? Make a 3 hour LOTR movie?
Overreaction to hating the movie is a little elitist.
If anything, they made the movie compelling for non-book readers and will get some people to read the OSC version based on word of mouth on how great the book is.

I would have loved to have seen more at Battle School. I found that evolution of Ender to be very interesting.
It seemed rushed to get to him being Commander and there needed to be more time to show his growth from yellow to green to dragon, etc.
Seems like the books might be worth a read. I just hope another movie is made as I like the premise and it seems like a unique storyline (which for me is a major hurdle for most movies these days).

I agree - the problem is that the book had so much in the story, that you could never fit it all into 1 movie, but it didn't quite have enough to fit into two movies.
for that they were able to do, I thought they did pretty well. Ender's Game is my wife's favorite book and she reads it often, and even she thought they did a pretty good job.

Yeah, I don't really get the hate either. If you hate the movie because you were expecting it to be a perfect adaptation of the book, that's your fault.
