very disappointing

Ill start out by stating that this review is coming from a fan of the novel. I've read the book at least five times and it will forever be one of my favorite stories. when i heard that they were making a movie out of it i was on pins and needles for months waiting for it too come out. in the theater i was quickly disappointed. how could they mess it up this badly? lets list some of the screw ups

1. there were no robots in the book 2. were did the giant mole and other animals come from? 3. what was with the escape? they escaped in a different way then in the book.

all in all, they changed so much from the original book, which was simple, engaging, and fun. the only other movie I've been this disappointed in was eragon. avoid this movie and go read the book.
