AD. your issue with Ender's Game - mine was a bit similar. The whole movie felt like the book on fast-forward (you know, videotapes and FFWD button). I saw my friends who haven't read the book beforehand come out of cinema with confusion and not being really sure what the movie was about.

I hated the movie for the reason listed above. Visuals were great, and acting was OK, but the book has such gravitas, and it felt low rent. My wife, who hasn't read the book, liked it.

I have characterized Ender's Game as "perfect, if you remove every scene with dialogue and then turn it into a screensaver".
