Sometimes I like to watch movies that have a score of 3 or lower out of 10, just to see how terrible it is. How bad can it really be? I never believe a score can be that low and each and every time I go yeah that movie deserves it. I've seen a few movies like this now, and a lot of them have one thing in common that helps them all seem to be churned out by the same terrible movie factory. No it's not the bad acting , choppy editing, repetitive scores, even more bad acting and nonsensical writing. No, what they have in common is the protagonist, writer, producer and director are all the same person, instead of doing one thing well, or at the very least adequately, they do multiple jobs terribly. This may seem mean, but I don't think there is anyone else to blame, he took all the jobs. With only a handful of reviews it is possible that Derek Ting will read this, but really it doesn't matter because it won't discourage him from doing what he does. The idea that he can go around and tell people he's an actor, director, writer and producer irks me a little but what can you do? Irks me a little but what can you do.

2/10 because at least the camera was in focus and the audio was clear.

I've been struggling to put into words exactly what it is that makes me dislike this tv show, the best I can do is say that Rafe Judkins has removed, changed and added so much that the resemblance to this book series is at best passing. What he has created from a classic fantasy story is a Frankenstein's monster with a rushed story that makes little sense in a world robbed of any character or depth. I watch because I love the book series, and seeing them mangle one of my favourite series is like witnessing a car crash happen in slow motion, I don't want to watch but I can't bring myself to look away.

I could go into detail, but nobody wants that so I'll save you that torment. The book readers know what the changes are, and the tv show enjoyers don't really care. Each to their own, Keeping Up with the Kardashians has been on television for 20 years so it's not like the bar is incredibly high. The crux of my criticism of the Wheel of Time steaming series is this; Rafe Judkins believes himself a better storyteller than Robert Jordan, that is the only way to explain how and why he made the changes that he did. That is the only way to explain it. There are moments that could have been book accurate, but weren't. For what reason? Only Rafe knows.
