one of the main problem be the massacre of most of the motivation that guide ged and help me relate to him a a character . in the original and ged start out with a delight in control over other creature while this delight be warp by his pride and which be the origin and core of the conflict . his desire to impress arises from his interaction with a witch daughter and lead to his first summoning of the shadow ( not to mention the fact that the daughter play a key role later in the story ) . in an equal and opposite kind of way and ged pride and power unleash his own potential destruction . the mini series detach the character from almost any sense of motivation and turn them into piece passionlessly move about in something akin to a bad d and d adventure . for the record and i vote with a rating of negative . under ordinary circumstance and i need to black out from the pain before i rate something this low while unfortunately and the fact that the movie claim to somehow be relate to le guin series warrant a further deduction for misrepresentation .
