Normal User Posts: 456	The 3D looks exceptional. I want to see the film but I also read the books first. This is one series I never got around to reading. I hope it's good. The books are very short, though, so I should be able to breeze through them very quickly. From what I've heard they did a very good job with the movie.

Our friend borrowed the movie and we are begging our parents to buy another copy because we love the Guardians movie. <3 We are currently memorizing the sc ript lines of the movie. My sis is: Noctus, Kludd, (Until Soren and Kludd aren't together) Miss P, Eglantine, Gylfie,Alomere, Borron, Outulissa (can't remember how it is spelled) and Digger. I am: Soren, Soren's mother, Kludd, Twilight, The Echidna, Barran, Ezylryb, etc. I can't remember now. >.< I have watched the movie like 30 times! 8D If you can't smile, nod AND smile. ^^

The movie is good ONLY if you've never really read the books. Why? Because the movie doesn't really follow the books at all. It's actually quite disappointing from a fan standpoint. The writers didn't even try to follow the series' storyline. Here are some examples: Movie: Kludd and Soren both get kidnapped by St. Aegolius. Book: Only Soren gets kidnapped. Movie: St. Aegolius is run by the Pure Ones. Book: St. Aegolius has nothing to do with the Pure Ones, but is taken over by the Pure Ones later on in the series. Movie: Owls are moon-blinked by being forced to sleep under a full moon. Book: Owls are moon-blinked by being forced to march under the light of the full moon and chanting their names until they forget them. Movie: Nyra and Metal Beak are the main villains. Book: St. Aegolius is the "villain." Metal Beak doesn't show up until Book 3 and Nyra doesn't show up until Book 5. Movie: Gylfie's "captor" is an owl named Grimble. Books: Grimble was never even pretending to work for St. Aegolius; he was one of the captured owls the whole time. Movie: Metal Beak dies while Kludd, in the end, gets away and becomes one of the Pure Ones. Book: Metal Beak and Kludd are the same owl. Kludd becomes Metal Beak behind-the-scenes and doesn't show up until Book 3. Movie: This plot never really happens in the books. Book: The actual plot is never replicated in the movie. All in all, Guardians of Ga'hoole WOULD be a great movie...if it wasn't trying and failing to be based off of the series. =/ However it's a good movie if you've never read the books, but if you're a fan of the series then the movie is not worth your time whatsoever. All that being said....I do love the books. xD

The only thing I liked was that Kludd got more attention as Kludd, but they made him seem weaker. HypnoxSpazz 5evr

Normal User Posts: 266	I totally agree with BowEcho. I read all the books and saw the movie. I hate the movie compared to the books but love it by itself. You forgot to mention BowEcho that in the movie Gylfie is a nut job and in the book he is the smartest one.

Normal User Posts: 3,426	Souten you're mistaken. o-o Gylfie is the little female Elf owl Soren first met. I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Digger, although you're mixing their characters up in general. I don't remember much about Digger, but I know Gylfie was the smartest. I was trying so hard not just burst out laughing at how much of a spazz Digger is in the movie. HypnoxSpazz 5evr

Normal User Posts: 498	Yeah, souten, you're confused. Gylfie was a female elf owl and was consistently smart; Digger wasn't AS big of a spaz in the books but he was still everywhere. They at least stuck somewhat to the character personalities, thankfully. xD

Normal User Posts: 4	I agree w/ BowEcho. If they had succeeded and tried harder to relate more to the books, the movie would have been much better. When i first saw the moovie, i thought it was no where near the books. Now that i've watched it a couple times, it makes sense why they did the stuff they did. XD All i all.... I LOVE EIZYLRYB
