Earthsea (Sci-Fi Channel miniseries)

Anybody see this?

I thought it was pretty good so far, with the protaganist being a combo of the apprentice from Dragonslayer and Harry Potter, hehe... Very rich world and visuals though, good music, and of course Kristen's simply hot

I could only make it through a part of this...some of the actors really couldn't act, the boys father for one....I was so looking forward to this show......DH made it through a bit longer than I did. Big disappointment for me

I doubt that a Sci-Fi Network (as much as I love them) treatment of these novels could ever approach the books in this case.

I couldn't bring myself to watch it.

I was pretty excited when I heard about this, but decided to give it a pass after reading Ursula Le Guin's website and her comments on it.

I think her closing paragraph sums it up best:

It was still entertaining...and I'm definitely going to read the books. I usually try and see a movie before reading the book to avoid the disappointment, hehe...

I think the ONLY time that didn't happen was with Harry Potter. When I saw that movie, it was JUST as I pictured it while reading the books, and I was completely blown away by that...

Going to have to disagree with you on this one. I found myself drifting in and out while watching it.

Well, it helps that Lana Lang is hot, hehe... and that I love even cheesy swords and sworcery movies....

The thing that got me was the ending. I just kept thinking to myself: What? That's it? That's all you're giving me? When the bat-men got loose it got interesting, but then the bottom just dropped out of the whole thing.

It's supposedly a longer series of novels...so it's kind of like the middle movie in a trilogy..leaves you hanging....sigh..

I suppose that I am just pissed because I was waiting the length of the show to see what was behind the door and you only see them for one scene.
