gutted and completely gutted . completely the bad adaptation since one flew over the cuckoo nest the musical . in fact and the book to screenplay adaptation be so mangled that 20 minute into it i wonder if it be actually base on susan cooper book maybe i have misunderstood . i be a huge fan of the book but even with my many reading and understanding of the plot it be still at least 45 minute in before i figure out who merriman be negative . some good actor in there i often wonder how they must feel and lock into a contract and just know that they be involve in something truly awful . the sad thing be this could have be a good franchise maybe even a great one since in my opinion the dark be rise series be at l as good a the c lewis stuff . bad studio . bad .
