robertdill's rating
These reviews have been fairly consistent yet their ratings are far too high. While the acting itself is good, apparently the writers never actually read the books! Most frustrating for any fan. Oddly the books themselves have more holes than you can shake a stick at. Then the Hollywood writers thought, 'we will just add more!'. Wonderful!
Lan, for one, short and rather slim. And not just him, A number of characters were nothing as described in the books. Events were wildly out of place, either in sequence or if they happened at all! I sometimes wished that I had not read the books. I might have enjoyed the series!
Been thinking! I reread the first few books to make sure I remembered correctly. I did! Then I began to ponder a thought, 'who associated with this series has actually read these books?' Certainly not the writers. Perhaps they found the cliffnotes, tore out each page, shuffled them like playing cards? A definite possibility.
Certainly not the directors nor the producers. Obviously!
Possibly the actors, though how would we know for sure?
The costume designers seem to have a grip on things. These two groups we cannot blame and yet they have the least influence.
Casting? OMG NO!!!! One merely need view the author approved cover on the first novel. How does the petite oriental guy compare to the beast on the cover? Are Sedai are suppose to be ageless! Not in this series.
None of them, as in, not one, has that ageless quality. Matt looks about 45! I'm irritated enough to go on but it begins to sound repetitive. I enjoyed these books very much despite the holes. I really hate seeing them butchered. R. Jordan is rolling in his grave. I sure hope his son got a big fat payoff for selling him out!

I just don't get it! I tried! I wanted to like it, but I couldn't make it thru the first show. First bar of 'Old MacDonald', and I was outta there!
I was disappointed on so many levels. This silly farce added nothing to WW whatsoever. So many good actors and no one could save the horrible, pointless writing. Apparently studio execs regretted killing off Pine's character so they decided, in their infinite wisdom, to wish him back? How innovative! Kristen Wiig, so good, normally, but such a horrid 'bad guy'. My son, avid fan, didn't even finish the movie. I stuck it out. That's 2+ hours I'll never get back!
