Q: Are there any book to movie adaptations where you think the movie is better than the book?
A: I think there are just a few that are better than the books for multiple reasons. Mainly though the books were just slower or harder to get through.
I think it's been too long since I read The Princess Bride. Although that is another "biased" opinion of mine since I watched the movie a 1000 times or so before having to read it in school. Scratch that, I might have read it first for enjoyment and then read it twice in school!!
Warm Bodies. I think that was one where I loved them both equally. There were bits I liked more in the movie, but then parts I enjoyed more happening in the book.
I also found that the Notebook was a million times better as a movie. The book was just not as emotionally moving or long. I found it was too short. I really wanna watch Warm Bodies!!
Great picks! I also loved LOTRs but I haven't read the books and couldn't count it. So sad I forgot Warm Bodies, it was such a great movie and glad it cut out some of the stranger parts of the book - like the strange zombie wife and kids. My F&FF.

ReplyDeleteI liked Warm Bodies a lot. I'm curious about the book but don't have any real motivation to read it.
