I enjoyed it despite some usual cliches .

Decent movie but, as is so often the case, not as good as the book.

Hardly anywhere near the level of the books. Disappointing. The books in their own right are iconic. I like Eragon, and it's a nice universe created by Paulini, same for Percy Jackson, but neither comes close to Enders Game. Both these movies are just a bit of fun fantasy and both failed on so many levels, though their source material was just a bit of fun fantasy.

Ender's game was a psychological drama, and I didn't really feel that in the movie tbh.

It was a real shock in the book when the big reveal came. The film missed that and I think it was weaker for it otherwise it was an ok stab.
