Having read all the books in my youth I was extremely excited to watch the film. I didn't mind that they may combine a few books into one film. But this was so far from the original story line, far too Americanised and just an insult to the books.
Mr Crepsly was not a very comedic character in the book, I like John C Reilly but not right at all for the role. The reveal that his best friend is a vampeneeze in the first film makes no sense because Steve is supposed to join the crew later on and be revealed at a later point so basically ruins that whole plot line there.
It's nowhere near as brutal or graphic as it could have been. I know it's for young adults but honestly it was so poorly made its almost as if they were told some character names and a loose plot and made the rest up.
If you liked the books then don't waste your time with this film.
