I just saw Ender's Game today and it was awesome imo. If you have not seen it and like sci-fi flicks you must. Well I went looking to see about a sequel and was upset they are not planning on making one at the moment.
So it got me thinking for people that saw both movies. Out of Ender's Game and John Carter which one would you rather get a sequel?
Personally I would rather John Carter get a sequel if I had to choose.
On a side note I ordered the Quintet tonight of the 4 Ender books. Even thinking about getting shadow if the next 3 measure up.

As for the other books, they are very different in style compared to Ender's Game. Much more cerebral.

Saw ender's game today and it sucked. If they make a sequel to that I vote to watch john carter's sequel, even though I've never seen John Carter.

Well, Ender's Game does have a sequel in the book series, but there is no way it'd be made into a movie. Ever. Ever. It goes on about Ender creating his own religion and going into hiding, and all sorts of jazz, and it's mostly exposition after exposition and it does feel like it's one big set up for the next couple of books. But I think the second book is also 1000x better than Enders. I am the only one who thinks this.
Still haven't seen the movie.
And John Carter was turned off after 5 minutes at my house. Had nothing appealing to me whatsoever.

John Carter and it's not even close.

John Carter, and I'm a huge fand of the Ender's Game book.
That's how much I liked the John Carter movie.

Carter.
And I am a HUGE Ender fan.
(of the books)
The movie did a horrible job of translating the essesnce of what made the book still popular instead of being published before I was born.
Also, the following books are basically unfilmable anyway.
The Shadow series could be (they are next chronologically), but never Speaker of the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind.

I'm assuming you have never read the book. I saw the movie before reading it and thought the movie was ok, but felt really rushed.
Then I read the book, and wished I could unsee the movie.
The answer is John Carter.
Ender's Game needs to either be an HBO miniseries or simply redone MUCH better.

John Carter, not close.
There are some really good stories to tell too, but we won't get it.

Enders Game is pretty unpopular movie here. People who love the book just can't bring themselves to enjoy the movie even a little bit. I liked John Carter more but I'd be more interested in a Enders game sequel.

as much as i'd like to see a Speaker for the Dead movie, I just don't see how that could be done (if we're talking direct sequel).
Also don't understand the enders game hate. Was the book better, absolutely, but i still enjoyed the movie.

I enjoyed John Carter and I think the ending setup quite well for a sequel.
