BWAAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAH. THEY'RE MAKING A BOOK INTO A MOVIE AND IT'S NOT GONNA FOLLOW IT TO THE T. WHAAAAAAAAA!

Ok, seriously? Everyone who thinks that it's actually possible to make a movie of a book and be completely 100 % faithful is dilusional and has fuck all idea of the difference between mediums and what is involved in the creation of each.

DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH ON THAT.

Also, I am SO fed up with people bitching about movies they haven't even seen THAT HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET. How NARROW-MINDED do you have to be?!

Comic book rather than pure text to be sure, but actually, the Sin City movie was pretty much faithful to a T.

Actually, if the rumors are true, it sounds like that it will have even less resemblance to the original source than the Resident Evil movies. Of course, they are only rumors, but still. Name-dropping (which is what the RE movies are) is always annoying. "See? We totes have some resemblance to the book. Watch us!" Frankly, if you're going to adapt the book, adapt it. Just don't keep some names and have nothing else there. That's just lame.

OK, take it easy there asshole. It's not simply making a few changes in the adaptation process. It's taking the entire nature of the book and tossing it out to make a typical "hero saves the day" flick. Maybe you should do some research before you shout at random people on the Internet.

In short, you are an idiot.

The problem is that they aren't even ATTEMPTING to follow the story of the book.

The book was about the POST apocalypse world, where all the zombies are already dead and people are rebuilding.

The movie is about some guy trying to STOP the zombies.

Completely different story, with the name World War Z slapped on it to lure the book fans in for a cheap buck. It doesn't even have the same fucking main character.

Oh, is that the change? I hadn't read the rumours. But yeah, if they do that, I will be seriously disappointed. They may as well not make the film.

Thank you!

How the hell would a 1-to-1 adaptation of book to movie result in anything watchable at all? An extremely long anthology of vignettes, featuring one-note, static characters talking in the same voice, with all the actual zombie war action depicted entirely in flashback? Sign me up... snore...
