If a movie being produced was based on a book you haven't read, what wouldyou have done?
Would you go see the movie or you will get the book and read it first?
I would prefer to get the book and read it first. It might spoil the movie and ruin my perception and images of the characters, but I would want the whole story with all of the details first. Afterwards, I would still like to see the movie as it is someone's artistic interpretation of the book.

I think I would like to see the movie first and then read the book or if the movie was enough then not read the book.
I love reading books because then I can imagine how the characters look and when they are being described try to visulize them in my mind. I love to read, but, I also love to watch movies.

Book first and then the movie. Most of the time the movie is disappointing, of course

I'm like you...I'd like to read the book first then see the movie. Usually I find the book to be better anyway

In most cases I have read the book before the movie. A couple of books that I read that were movies too. I liked the book better. Memoir of A Geisha was a book and they made the movie. The book was way better. They left out some details in the book and they changed the character. It just wasn't the same.

I do both, however it is sometimes better to see the movie first, that way you can't be critical when they change the story here and there.

It often happen like that, one would not feel like watching the movie, and if one try to watch it, one would find it not as interesting as the book had been.
