Title: Why do they take good books and make them bad movies?
Product review: The "Dark is Rising" books are excellent and well written...Why the movie people always seem to say "well, we'll just take the names and the setting and see if we can't punch them up a bit" when faced with great source material is beyond me! The movie isn't really even going to appeal to people who haven't read the books, as it seems very derivative at times. People who have read the series and are fans may develop violent feelings towards the screen play writers; I know we did! Just avoid this movie and perhaps "they" will consider it a bomb and not make another....
