many SciFi movies purported to be based on books of the same title. (I still gnash my teeth whenever Starship Troopers is being shown.)<u></u><u></u></span></p><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d"></span></div>

The whole Locke/Demosthenese subplot is excluded, and the book is much more about action than it is about the growth of Ender as a leader, but I still liked it and wasn't offended by it varying from the book.<br>
