Well, today I watched 'Cirque Du Freak: The Vampires Assistant', which I had actually been waiting years for. I've read almost all 12 books of the series, and so, I was pretty happy for the film. The film was based on the first three books...Well, supposed to be anyway. So, here's my littler review:
First off, the setting was wrong. It's set in Ireland, not some random place in America [I think it was Baltamore]. Then, there's the age...Darren is meant to be 14, not 16. They've got the heights wrong too...
Well, they skimmed through the first 100 pages of the first book. All the events were mashed up into one big scene. It skipped them so much, it left out most of the important bits. Sure, they got SOME of it right. But they didn't even bother to show them catching the tickets, the bleeding-knee scene and other important stuff. Then there's the Steve-wanting-to-be-a-vampire scene...They got MOST of it right...
My laptops dying so here's the basics:
30% 1st book, 10% second book, 10% 3rd book, 50p% random made-up crap
