I just went to see Cirque Du Freak the Vampire's Assistant and i thought it was a really good film. However, certain parts were not from the book and had
been changed in the movie. For example Steve was bitten in Darren's bedroom in the book because Annie screamed at the spider and that shocked Darren and
stopped him from playing the flute so Madam Octa bit Steve. Whereas in the film they are looking at Madam Octa in Darren's bag at school and the bell
shocks them and they drop Madam Octa's cage which opens and she gets away. They then chase her but she gets under Steve's shirt and bites his face.
What do you think of the film? Also please rate it in my poll! Look forward to hearing from you! Nick.

I'm going to go see it in about an hour...so I'll be able to tell you more then. But I've already heard from a few people who went and saw a
midnight screening in another town that it wasn't bad...

I thought it was really good. Yes, they did change a lot from the book to the movie, but I expected that, and honestly, I don't mind the changes too much,
because in the end, the story still made sense. I thought it was strange that they included all of that stuff with Steve that doesn't happen until later on
in the books, but I kind of understand that too. If they had only included strictly what was in books one and two, it would have been a very short movie, and
possibly a little boring (not saying the books are boring at all, but the books normally only cover one or two events per book, and that would have been hard
to make a two hour movie out of).
All in all, I really enjoyed the movie despite the differences, and I would definitely go see it again. I think it was really well put together, and I like that they left it open for a sequel. |

After dreaming of this movie coming out in theaters and actually seeing my dream come true was shocking enough. I couldn't believe my eyes. I literally had
to keep pinching myself to tell me that this isn't a dream.
It was exactly how I pictured it. I loved the changes... a bit too much. Like I've said before: You can't go wrong with a Darren Shan story. His stories are just pure awesomeness and they always will be. There's no possible way you can screw it up. Back to the changes.... I love the fact that they changed a lot of things. Seriously. It gives me hope that in the final film (book 12) they change the ending.... Most of you probably know what I'm talking about. As for Mr. Tiny, he was supposed to be a midget in a green suit with a heart shaped watch. Instead, they made him a fat bald guy. Honestly, I see no harm in that. The movie still felt like the books. I'm just hoping they have something cooked up for the finale and I'm dying to see what they do. I loved how they involved Mr. Tiny a lot in the film. We even saw the doorway leading to the wasteland. The Lake Of Souls. We even saw him take a soul. That was so awesome. Although Darren didn't involve Mr. Tiny a lot in the first 3 books, I liked it. Destiny is a very interesting character. Maybe it might even spark Darren's imagination again (with the Cirque Du Freak storyline) involving that wasteland world. I really really really hope the movie does well at the box office. I want to see this through. Destiny reminded me of Lord Loss. He hungered on the misery of Darren and Steve. They had a best friend moment when they had their battle and Mr. Tiny jumped in the middle of it and said how exciting it was to see them suffer. |
