My god, how could I forget about this? Must have repressed it somehow. The books are equally bad though (at least the first one that was dumb enough to read). I still can't fathom they got names like Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich on the cast list, horrible, horrible stuff. Then again; Irons did do Dungeons & Dragons some years prior... |
The book was exactly what you expect from a teenage book (I liked it back then though, since I was a teenager), but the movie managed to take the little that was interesting from the book and just throw it out in the trash.
No wonder it never had a sequel.
Book adaptations like this get funded without a single problem, but yet Del Toro's adaptation of At The Mountains Of Madness is still stuck in limbo TT.TT
Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.
