what can i say to decry this artistic atrocity that have not already be say . certainly it be worthwhile to repeat the complaint that the racist producer of this shameful exploitation of a beloved book series and it author good name to make money with no concern for quality or please viewer . to make all the black hero of the book white for the movie and leave only one token black character be inexcusable . what possible reason could there be for this whitening of the cast besides racism . i challenge anyone to give me one good reason for change all the black protagonist to white . they can not do it because there be no possible good reason . again and this be racism and plain and simple . by the way and i be a white curly blonde haired guy myself and all the more reason to feel shame and sorrow that our society be still this openly racist . but here a point no other reviewer seem to notice . in the last shot ( check it and tivoers ) after the hero and heroine kiss for no good reason ( spontaneous horniness bring on by increased universal harmony presumably cause all nearby to pair up and go at it ) the soldier surround the temple suddenly start to hug each other for no apparent reason . perhaps the universal harmony horniness have hit them too . be we to imagine a giant orgy follow . if not and then why the sudden kissing and hugging . i guess the producer need a neat and simple way to show that all be well and so they slap on a clichéd movie or tv end with everyone kissing and hug despite there be no reason for it in the plot . or perhaps they just need a way to explain away the warrior subplot they invent for the miniseries . have no resolution to it they show the soldier break out in a group hug fest so we will understand that their quest for world domination end in the big universal harmony wave . i be truly disgusted and offend by this piece of excrement and but at least i get one good laugh at the thought of the soldier orgy . anyone else notice this .
