This no where resembles the book. Innocence has been replaced by hollywoods aspiration to cash in on teen markets. Can you say Twilight? Card has a terrible rep and this director obviously didn't have the b###~>^{? To make the movie as it was suppose to be. Asa butterfield just looks gangly and awkward. I'm predicting major flop here.

Man, I love the book, but I feel like they're going to ruin this movie. The kid may be good but he's too old. Harrison Ford is pretty much a full-time crank now. The director sucks. I have little confidence in the writers. The movie's gonna be bad. And they definitely shouldn't try for the sequels, that just wouldn't work for a movie.

Fuck Ford. The actor, not the car maker. Well maybe the car maker too. He's old and craggy and so fucking obnoxious now. He only "shows up" on film to make $$$$ for his grand children. Harrison Ford- NOT A WORKING ACTOR.

Too old. All of them. Including my much loved Harrison Ford, much as that pains me. The man is 70 years old. The average life expectancy of men is 75 years. You do the math. But Ford is far from alone. Al Pacino, DeNiro, Michael Douglas, Chevy Chase, all are over or nearing 70. They are just the tip of the iceberg. Danny DeVito, Steve Martin, and Harry Shearer. This is a list that goes on and on. We have an entire generation of stars that will soon no longer be with us. Either they'll retire from public life to knock out their bucket list…or they'll just die first. The big action superstars are right on their heels at age 65: Stallone and Schwarzenegger. The babies of that group are the mid to late 50's Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis. And almost 50 themselves are Johnny Depp and his peers of alternative rebel superstars. And after that you get real slim pickings. Scattered points of light in a Dead Zone where Hollywood just stopped cultivating or grooming stars. Finally realizing how stupid that was, they have belatedly started up again with the Harry Potter/Twilight/Disney Channel babies. But they are all ten or more years away from their prime superstar years. There is an entire LOST GENERATION of stars that never came to be. That lost generation should be just now blooming into the superstars of the next 20 years. But they can't, because they were never cultivated in the first place. Who has Hollywood got lined up to be the next Pacino, DeNiro, Douglas, or HARRISON DAMN FORD? Who are they lining up to replace Sandra Bullock or Julia Roberts or Tom Hanks? More importantly to me: Who are they lining up to replace Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Eddie Murphy, Clint Eastwood, Denzel Washington, Bill Murray, Val Kilmer, Kevin Costner, Nic Cage, Sean Connery, Warren Beatty, Bruce Willis, and even Charlton Heston hasn't been replaced yet. All superstars of action and thrillers who I love, but all INCREDIBLY OLD. If the news announced tomorrow that they had died of heart attacks from walking up a flight of stairs, you wouldn't bat an eyelash in surprise. Because that's what old people do. They die. And then somebody has to be doing the job they used to do. But Hollywood hasn't trained or groomed anybody to do that job. So there is a vast sucking hole where a generation of new superstars should be. And it PISSES ME OFF. WHERE IS MY NEW GENERATION OF ACTION STARS, HOLLYWOOD??? And don't give me that 44 year old Vin Diesel or Jason Statham bullshit or the MAJOR BULLSHIT of 19 year old Taylor Lautner. Where are my action stars young enough to engage in a foot chase without a heart attack and old enough to have grit in their face??? Yeah, Vin and the Rock still have many good years of action movies left in them. But they ain't getting younger and there is NOBODY to replace them thanks to poor Hollywood planning. Their replacements should already be breaking in right now. Mel Gibson and Bruce Willis' replacement should have been breaking in 5 years ago! Just like Vin was starting out as Arnold was on the down slope and Pitt was breaking out just as Redford was winding down. Through osmosis or good planning by Hollywood, they always had the new ship ready by the time the old ship sunk, so that audiences could make the leap. Then they stopped. And now we are all left on sinking boats.

It should be noted that every novel except for the splendid first one is complete and utter shit, and several of them basically just propaganda. There's just no way they'd follow Ender's Game up with adapting Speaker for the Dead.

If they are trying to get him to play Colonel Graff it could potentially be the best role he's played in years.
