Yeah, I agree with most of the things you've all said.

Loads of people seem to like LOTR. I don't really like it that much, but I haven't read the books, so I don't know if I just don't like the films as I haven't read the books. =P

Yeah I agree with Alex about the HP films, I liked the PoA one though.

logan's run the movie is 100% better than the book. i also enjoyed fight club better as a movie. and the lord of the rings movies were a breath of fresh air to me, after slogging through those horribly-written books.

other than that, though, you just get more out of books. little things that can't be captured on screen.

Books and literatures are better than the movies, IMO.

It's kinda the same way for me. I don't care much for the Harry Potter movies. They leave out too much stuff. But I really like the books.

But with LOTR, I prefer the movies over the books. I like the books, just prefer the movies. Maybe because I saw the movies before I had read any of the books.

But generally, like 90% of the time, I will go with the book rather than the movie

In my experiance the only time a movie has bested a book is The Wizard of Oz

generally prefer reading a book, although movies are much quicker! so i cheated for the series of unfortunate events.. the movie was quite good

but i think even lotrs, the books were better, although marginally,

I, being a book fiend, will always read a book before I see the movie. I find it far easier to envelope onesself in the plot that way. Either that or you can complain to the people you're with about how stupid the movie is compared to the book.

[somewhat humorous story]When I first read Harry Potter, about a month or two after they started getting national recognition, I imagined that Harry looked something like me with a scar and glasses. When they started making the movie and I saw Daniel Radcliffe for the first time, I was like, holy cow! That kid looks almost exactly like me. And he has the same first name Now, of course, I've grown a bit older and my face has changed a bit, but this summer, I swear I got asked at least once a day if I played Harry Potter. Sometimes, it scares me when real die-hards come up and call me by name.[/somewhat humorous story]

So true. I've only pictured one thing the same as the movie-- Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. And the movie is word-for-word the story, except they give Darzee's wife some of his lines. Plus I saw the movie first.

I don't think I've ever liked a movie mo-
Wait..
I preferred Disney's Hunchback of Notre Dame...
the original was WAAAY too pervy.

But that's it.
