the sci fi channel should have put some of their marketing money into production and because this be not only a bad adaptation of an incredible book and it be the bad i have ever see . if you have read the book and you will know exactly what i mean . if you haven not and go to the library or bookstore ( theyre worth own ) and spend the time in the book instead of waste it on this worthless show . a few key point of my utter disenchantment ( pun intend ) represent 1 ) ged be the same age throughout the entire movie when in the book we get to follow him from age 10 to 80 . 2 ) there be absolutely no sex in the book and but you get a nice bedroom scene in the first 5 minute of the movie . come on . the book offer more than enough material to engage the reader . you do not need to whore the character and although sci fi manage to make one up for just that purpose . 3 ) bad act . it take me back to the day of mtv undress . 4 ) lame as cgi . after see sci fi do ok with dune and i be hop for much good graphic in this movie . 5 ) most importantly and le guin book win award for what they be . imho and sci fi show an inordinate disrespect for that by bastardize the plot into something completely different . boooooooooo . to sum up and do not see it . don not even give it a second glance . anyone associate with this atrocity need to have their head hand to them on a magician staff . if you want to see an earthsea worth seaing ( a pun on the level of the sci fi production ) and get the book . or borrow mine while but you will have to wait a few day a i read them again to regain the enchantment .
