What are your thoughts on Ian in the movie?

I personally thought the character of Ian in the movie was a little underdeveloped. He fell in tình yêu with Wanda abruptly like a creepy stalker. The O'Wanda relationship in the book took a lot of time to develop and grow into romance. But in the movie, they just fell in tình yêu all at once. I just thought it was kinda weird. Did anybody else feel this way as well?

It was a 600+ page book made into a 125 một phút movie. Everything seemed to di chuyển too fast, especially because much of the book involved thoughts and not actions. There's only so much they could do without leaving out important scenes.

Yes, I think everybody feels like the movie was too fast-paced and skipped over several scenes. However, I still think Andrew Niccol could've done a better job with the whole thing. Not just the O'Wanda relationship, but the whole movie in general. But I can't hate on him too much, because it is a difficult task to narrow a 600 paged book into a two-hour-long movie.

I completely agree and not. Not because if bạn can get passed the fact that they're gonna make a 600+ page book into a short-amount-of-time film(compared to the time it takes to read it), bạn will see that it's not a bad film at all.(Not saying bạn thought it was bad :D) BUT ..I absolutely fell in tình yêu with Ian in the movie. Jake Abel matched the character so well and he definitely took the spotlight away from Jared(Max Irons), for me anyways. I totally agree on everything bạn said, but like I đã đưa ý kiến if bạn can get passed that fact. =) I think it helps not to compare so much. Twilight definitely helped me with that issue.haha

Yes, I guess that is true. bạn have a 600-paged book and bạn have to shrink it down to a 200-paged movie script. Obviously there's going to be a ton of things that get cut from the book, and there's not going to be enough room for certain characters (like Ian) to develop.

But once bạn get past that fact, I guess the O'Wanda relationship isn't all that bad. I totally agree with Jake Abel as Ian, so I don't have a problem with the actor, but I do wish they would've focused a little thêm on his character. But even so...I'm still Team Ian ;)

And they could have focused it thêm on them too. It was a pretty long movie too. I feel like they could've shown us so many things from the book, including their relationship.

I totally totally agree with bạn for Jake Abel. I seriously fell in tình yêu with Ian the way he portrayed him. I melted every time he was onscreen, just as I did whenever Ian showed up in the book. He totally too the spotlight away! Well done and standing "O" to Jake Abel as Ian :)

To be certain I really tình yêu his and Wanda's relationship but never taught that it'll turns up to be quite quirky in the movie not to mention that Ian almost looked like a stalker and was easily captivated bởi Wanda... hoặc so like that?

I feel the same way! It seems like Wanda just got to the caves and like a một giây later, they confess they like each other. Ian also has a lot of good trích dẫn in the book that they didn't incorporate in the movie, like "I held bạn in my hand, Wanderer, and bạn were so beautiful" and "good hoặc bad?" They could've at least added "good hoặc bad"

I was thêm forcused on Jared & Melanie's thoughts and feelings.

I totally agree, everything in the movie was so very abrupt and sudden that bạn sort of miss the emotional reaction bạn get from the book. Me, I think the movie was a total bust. And very disappointing.
