@skywise @thedude-abides I'm not certain if this will be good or bad, but from what I've read, it will mainly focus on the war, which I will admit is disappointing. But I am hopeful that this will be a good movie.

@thedude-abides i get where you are coming from. You are right its never a good sign when the story has been writen by many authors. We have seen this time again. The studio is too involved. The cast looks pretty good however.

@skywise There's no continuity with the cast, and the screenplay is adapted by five writers plus the author of the book, so essentially six writers -- that's six different creative inputs. Any movie I've ever seen with more than two writers has been all over the place; if I had to bet, I'd say this will be also.
