__** IBD Movie **__

Our class last week watch Island of the Blue Dolphins. While reading the book it was really exciting, but watching the movie didn’t have that excitement. By the time we finished the movie, it wasn't good as we expected it to be. The actors were not that great, the most important scenes were not in the movie, and the affects were awful. Why not remake it? If this was remade a lot of people would watch Island of the Blue Dolphins the movie.

One problem was that the most important three scenes were not in the movie. When Karana was in the tsunami in the book I was disappointed when it wasn't in the movie. Also, when Karana saw the sea elephants fighting and hurt her leg was also was a missing scene. Last is when Karana fights the devilfish in the book. These are one of the most important scenes and unfortuanly they wern't in the movie.

Another problem is the special affects. When Karana shots Rontu with an arrow it loks kike they just took a sticker and placed it on the screen. Also when captine Orlave gets shot, all it was was a bang and him putting his hand on his chest. Last is backround it didn't look that real. People want more excitement, that may have been concider good then but now its consider horrible.

My last complant is that the actors were not right. Karana hair was shorter than I expected to be plus she didn't look native american. Rontu was also not right, in the book Rontu is a wolf but he looked more like German Sheperd. Last is Kimki, KImki was suppost to be old but he looked like he was 29. Actors are everything in movies.

Even though some may have liked the movie 90% didn't like the movie. There are a lot of good reasons why this should be remade. If I had to choose between the movie and book i would choose the book. Now a days people want more in movies. I think that this movie should be remade.
