I hate that they are trying to turn any and every book that has become a best seller into a movie. I can understand that the director wants to put their own spin on the movie but taking out whole characters or scenes that explain how the characters got to a certain point is bogus. One of the new movies that explain what I'm talking about is "City of Bones" in the next book the main characters best friend is turned in to a vampire by a character that was never put into the movie.
