What's different?In the games, the birds were flung using a slingshot by the player into green pigs to defeat them. It didn't really having a story line. In the movie, the birds spoke English, and there was an action story line. The pigs came in and stole the eggs, and the birds came up with a plan to get them back. What's similar?There don't seem to be a lot of things similar in the games and the movie. The only things were the goal of retrieving the eggs that were stolen and some of the characters involved in both sides. How well did they match the game?In my opinion, they did the best with what they had to work with. The game was only a level-style game where you passed levels in different stages, and you did that by controlling birds. That's all the game was. It'd be impossible to make it a good movie and have it follow the games precisely. ImprovementThey needed to include the slingshot. That is one of the main mechanics of the game is the slingshot. The birds didn't have any way of activating the slingshot, so the director could have included a machine of some sort that they used to sling them. My opinion compared to everyone else'sI went deeper into this movie, and found that my opinion of it being an OK movie was what others mostly felt about it as well. On IMDb, it scored a 6.3/10, meaning that it could be worse. It earned a 44% like rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where 152 reviews decided whether it was fresh (good) or rotten (bad), and 44% of the reviews were good. It earned a 43% on Metacritic, where the reviews were either really good or really bad. It was either "The movie is underrated" or "The movie was super bad." In Summary

We have finally reached the final blog post! It's been a struggle, and I haven't done all of them, but its been sort of fun. I believe that, because its purpose was supposed to be "to reflect upon [my] learning as well as allow [me] to add to [my] understanding of game design by extending [my] knowledge" (Schoology), it did serve its purpose. It gave me a time to reflect on my bright moments, and my not so bright moments. It also gave me a reason to research the Gaming Industry. I learned things like what they do in their day (their work ethic), their salary, their lifestyle (how they live), etc. Personally, blogging is why I want to become a game designer when I grow up. I've found a lot of things in my research, for blog posts, in the Gaming Industry that interest me.
