The Host Review (Part 4)

So what do I rate this book?

Watch to find out.

The Host Review (Part 3)

I talk about the Seeker who could've been the only good thing in this book.

The Host Review (Part 2)

I talk about the two main leads in this part of the review.

Question is...which one is worse?

The Host Review (Part 1)

I begin my review of my most hated book of all time by explaining what it is.

Kyle and Kyle Reese

I am not a big fan of the announcement that the next Terminator movie will be a reboot of the series. I am one of the few that loved Terminator Salvation and wanted to see that story continued.

I wanted scenes of John Connor interacting with Kyle Reese and having to hide the fact that the boy is his father.

I  also wanted to see Kyle Reese and Star get together romantically and have this subplot have it much harder for Kyle to go back in the past and impregnate Sarah Connor with John (I am going to deal with that subplot in my own TERMINATOR FIC). I know that he'll go back but I'm a sucker for seeing a character in pain and confusion.

But the reboot is going to start from square one it seems. I know many Terminator fans would love the reboot to undo everything post Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but messing with the first two is very dangerous grounds.

One of the people that is up to play Kyle Reese is Boyd Holbrook. I find this hilarious as he played Kyle in the movie adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's The Host. So he'll have two Kyles on his resume.

I know everyone knows Kyle Reese. He's the father of John Connor and a fighter of the Resistance. He has his faults, but he's an all around good character.

Kyle from The Host...I have not seen the movie so I don't know what changes were made or how well Holbrook acted. What I do know is that Meyer did not know how to use the character and had the text vilify him.

Kyle is one of the free humans that is hiding away with Uncle Jeb. He is also one of the only ones that doesn't like Wanderer (one of the two main protagonists of the book/movie) since she is one of the aliens that took over the planet. He is suspicious and at one point tries to kill her.

In other words: he's one of the few characters with half a brain in the book.

But because he's not in Wanderer's fanclub he must be a giant douche for thinking like a normal human being.

I haven't seen the movie version of The Host so I can't comment on Holbrook's acting chops or if he can do good action scenes.

If he is picked for the role: please have him do justice to the role of Kyle Reese.

Response to The Host Trailer 1

I talk about the trailer.

The Host (First Trailer)

I hate The Host more than Twilight. Everything good about Twilight (and, yes, there were a FEW good things) is removed from The Host.

What's sad is that The Host combines a bunch of genres that would usually make me love it no matter what.

The first trailer for this piece of crap has been released.

The trailer looks better than I remember the book being. Only people who like pain should see this (and this coming from someone who thinks The Room is an enjoyable movie).
