Review title: Complete Bastardization
Product review: First off, I'd like to say that I have no disrespect for the actors in the mini-series. Many are good actors in their own right, but weren't right for the parts.With that said, I ask anyone and everyone looking to watch this mini-series to steer clear of it... very clear of it. Go straight for the books. Personally, I got in to Earthsea by watching the mini-series... enjoying it... not knowing what had been done to it. After reading the first book, I can honestly say that what has been done is wrong. Visit the author's site for more info: www.ursulakleguin.com. The changes are not simple changes to make it better suited for a film version. They are very large changes that change the entire story.Please read the books first. If you must, come back and watch the mini-series.. but not the mini-series first. The first book, A Wizard of Earthsea, is amazing. I begin on The Tombs of Atuan tonight.
