For everyone who is in outrage about Book III, please keep in mind that this is a movie that is made more for the fans of the book. If you have only seen the first two movies and not read the books, you will be angered and confused. If you have read the books, you may still be angered and confused, but there is no pleasing everyone. The first two movies took a lot of liberty with the books so it seems unfair that now the third one is being criminalized as if that hadn't happened before. Yes, the filming of the third movie is inferior to the first two. Yes, many of the cast members did not come back. But some fans of the books wanted to see the third one made and I think they at least tried.
Yes, Cooper Main is a minor character in the fist two books. He is in fact, Orry's older brother. He lives overseas and does not get on well with his father, and so is not mentioned often. He actually is a moderate and anti-slave thinker until his son is killed and then he goes quite insane. He is intended to own and run Mont Royal as the oldest son and in the books, Orry is actually at West Point because he WANTS to be a career soldier.
Bent does in fact exist in the third book. He does kill Constance and kidnaps Charles' son and they do hunt him down.
Orry dies in Book II. Period. He was never around for the third installment. I would have been irritated if they created a story line around him that didn't exist at all. They already took enough liberty by moderately crippling him instead of making him lose his arm which is what really happened in the book.
Billy and Brett have moved to California and are living there. And if you really want to know, Ashton finally gets her comeuppance when Fen leaves her penniless.
etc etc etc.
You can complain all day about every little thing. No movie is ever going to do the book its justice. And if you are such a fan of the movies, read the book. Always much better. Movie of Book III is inferior to the first two, but it is not a total waste of time if you want to see what happens to the characters.
