Well first of all the guy is too small and too chiseled. Richard is
supposed to be this big farm boy type of guy. Big enough that he is the
same size if not bigger than the D'harian troops (who are supposed to be
huge). He also lacks the confidence and resolve that Richard has in the
books.
I can relate to that. As long as the concept and execution is original and
clever it's fine. the first Friday the 13th was okay because it was new in a
way. The problem comes when the inevitable sequels and clones dispense with the
suspense and intelligence, and just take out the overt parts in
