Next weekend Space is airing the two part miniseries of EarthSea, adapted from Ursula K LeGuinn's books. Anyone have any idea if they're going to be any good? The reviews on IMDB are pretty bad... :(
It sucks. In general, it seems as if all the money was spent on sets and effects, and none of it on writing or acting.
If you're a fan of (or even just passingly familiar with) the novels on which the miniseries is (theoretically) based, it is a travesty as well as a bad film.
The last time I read the books, it was in 7th grade. That being said, I enjoyed the movies. I remember just about absolutely nothing about the books, other than something about a boat, but that could have been easily misremembered from Old Man and The Sea. It was nice and fluffy, and not horribly difficult to sit through for that amount of time.
