Mabe if you're into sixth grade level, tropey, cliché, Star Wars rip-off

Regardless, the movie and books were extremely different.

Eragon, Unbroken

Unbroken needs an HBO miniseries. Too much to put in one movie.

True. Jolie just ruined it in my opinion. Such a great story that could

Absolutely. I was really disappointed in Jackson over this one. LOTR was really

Ah didn't see this. Yes. One movie. Just characters and content from the book.

Dune was remade as a syfy miniseries, but it had its own separate issues. I'd

I have mixed feelings about this. Some were bad, others were pretty good

I like this one. It helps that I was on the USS Midway last Wednesday

jdub

Charleton Heston version is still pretty good. Better than Pearl Harbor

In the WW2 vein, I'd go with a remake of Ghost Soldiers.
