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 사랑 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 사랑 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 분 movie. Everything seemed to 옮기기 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 당신 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), 당신 will see that it's not a bad film at all.(Not saying 당신 thought it was bad :D) BUT ..I absolutely fell in 사랑 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 당신 said, but like I said if 당신 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. 당신 have a 600-paged book and 당신 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 당신 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 더 많이 on his character. But even so...I'm still Team Ian ;)

And they could have focused it 더 많이 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 당신 for Jake Abel. I seriously fell in 사랑 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 사랑 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 의해 Wanda... 또는 so like that?

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

Well i wasnt obbsessed with Ian at all i thought he was like weird just a bit. I mean i read the whole book and one moment he was trying to kill Wanda/Mel and the 다음 moment he was all googley eyed and head of heels for Wanda. I was like Wth? I was 더 많이 forcused on Jared & Melanie's thoughts and feelings.

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