Legend of the Seeker (2008)

[dwndrgn]

My bad.

Didn't figure it to be in a different forum.

It's all good.

 

[red_temple]

I may watch it. Depends on other options at the time. If the grass is growing, I may opt to watch that instead.

 

[Wiggum]

If they actually got all the way to a fully realized demon chicken, it would obviously be the best thing ever.

Best. Thing. Ever.

 

[the_faery_queen]

yeah. it would. but still in a funny way, for me at least. i can't take that seriously as a concepot, let alone an actul thing!

 

[speedingslug]

I gonna watch it just to see how fit Cara is ! *driffs off*

But I just know I'll end up kicking the television across the room in disgust !

 

[jenna]

good lord. i'll definitely watch it so that i can roll my eyes and go on about how much i hate badunkind and his stupid stories. i don't see how they'll have enough material for a mini-series if they take out all the rape though...

 

[the_faery_queen]

hahaha! sorry, that's funny to me. cos you're right, there's nothing else but rape and, i love you kahlan/richard in thsoe books.

yum, wentworth

 

[jenna]

yeah Wentworth eases the pain...

i'm just imagining now the soaring music, the camera pans in on Richard standing above some brainless plebs and then... 15 minutes of monologue about how stupid everyone except he and Kahlan are. riviting.

 

[Brys]

The chicken that is not a chicken scene could be entertaining, but who will they get to play Richard? And how will they do the Richard kicking the little girl in the jaw scene or the slaughter of innocent peace protesters? Still, I'm surprised that it's being made - that anyone decided to take this on. The film will be disappointing I reckon - half the humour is in the awful prose, and the only quality of SoT is unintentional humour. Ah well, we should still have Chain of Dogs and the Elric movie to look forward to. It can't hurt for SoT fans to have a film as well.

 

[the_faery_queen]

it really is teh season of fantasy books to films, it seems, with ergaon being made too. tho i hold no hopes or interest in that either.

i think they'd miss out anything that might make richard seem less than perfect. something goodkind doesn't seem to get, that kicking children in the teeth doesn't make someone appear like a good hero!

i imagine it could become a good drinking game movie. how many times does richard or kahlan whine for each other. how many times do we hear how perfect they are. how many times is some nasty vuiolence act carried out for no reason. that is if they stick to the book. for all we know it could be another queen of the damned, just the characters names and not much else!

could onlty be an improvement then

please god no

first of all a sword of truth movie would be kickass and its rape oafter rape after rape, if you would pay attention to the story then you would realize that its a very good series, it would be an extremly long movie, but a great one....if they cast it well instead of the STUPID people they used in the LEGAND OF THE SEEKER......They didnt even follow the story in that show, IT SUCKS!! I realy hope they make it into a movie and actualy follow the story!

 

[dreamhunter]

who's the author of the book?

Legend of the Seeker is only "inspired" by the Sword of Truth novels. Darken Rahl with dark hair...What? Not only that, he looks like a "bad guy" in the show. In the novels, he has blond hair and looks fairly young - not a typical personification of the bad guy, which to me, is good thing from the books.

 

[J-WO]

Hope there's a commentry by Goodkind himself in the DVD extras. It'd be a comedy classic!

 

[CBellenis]

Legend of the seeker was actually OK I thought. A sword and sorcery tale, taking some of Goodkind's good ideas (did I just say that??) but excluding his awful indulgent sadism and dodgy philosophy...Thus proving Fairy Queen's point! It was gratuitous and unnecessary to the story.
Sad git that I am, I'd watch the film in the spirit of unquenchable optimism!

 

[ebusinesstutor]

Actually I find Legend of the Seeker entertaining and I like the casting of the lead characters.
