it seem good in the on the outside but i think it lacked alot of the fundemental matter. the whole reason it had emerge in the industry as a novel follwoing a series was because there were specific elements at play that would resurface in the middle or towards the end of the series.
i understand the reason behind the relationship aspect and need to advertise it but i think the director might not have focus the whole thing on them.
it seem like the movie goer was usher through the whole movie.
