I agree with you. If the movie is based on the idea of the novel instead of following the novel closely, I think I would be okay with the book being made into a movie. However, if it follows the book more closely than not, I would not want to watch it, regardless of the rating and the content. I did not find Alex to be a likable character, and it would be like pulling teeth for me to watch his antics unfold on-screen.hsimone wrote: ↑12 Jun 2017, 10:42 Hm...that all depends for me. Since the premise is a promising one, a movie might be interesting. However, if the movie would be mostly based on the book, then I would say no; it would have to be very loosely based. Alex isn't very likable, so to follow his ridiculous decisions for two hours would, I think, upset many people. Or, it might give the wrong impression of what a good role model is to the younger crowd because Alex isn't really a good one.

I agree too. It has the potential to be a movie, but I think it would be a movie you either love or hate. There is always the rare chance movie writers could tweak things and make it better than the book (make characters better) but that is a slim chance. I'm almost scared to know how bad it could be if they found a way to make it worse lolCjgarland89 wrote: ↑21 Jun 2017, 13:48Miriam Molina wrote:I can easily picture Superhighway as a movie that kids will like. While Alex may not be your perfect hero, he is a realistic character with strengths and flaws. A little tweaking may be needed to his character to make the story palatable for the very young.
I agree here. Considering the other movies out there, I think that being irresponsible is almost a must to have an interesting storyline these days. I would definitely see the movie, if nothing else out of curiosity.

I can imagine some awesome special effects as he is traveling through the web. Good opportunities for humor as he appears under desks or in odd situations when dropping in from the internet.

About the rating, i think PG13 is ok as long as the parts involving nudity are moderately acted out.
