manzician I am myself an avid book lover. At the same time, I also love watching movie based on novels. I can see why you seem to be so dissapointed. See, to be simple, its not easy to turn a 300 page movie into a 2 hours movie. So you can never be fully satisfy. But...

SexyMhei I agree with you, although I haven't read that book yet, I too have noticed how many novels have been "mudered" by translating them into films or movies. I guess that is basically there are things in the book that cannot be done in the film. However extra care...

Aurone Interview with a Vampire is another that made a good movie from the book, they changed the ending a bit and the character of Armand was a bit off, but otherwise it was right on target. I think I read somewhere in the case of Bridge to Terabithia that while...

highflyingxangel I love Bridge to Terabithia and for one, I'm sort of disappointed that Disney has taken on the movie. For one, I have a feeling they're going to turn it into something that it isn't, and from what I can tell, they already have. I'm not happy with the previews,...

silver_moon525 I believe that book-based movies are only good if you're watching it for enjoyment and not deeply analyzing it...which is hard to do when one read the book first before watching the movie. Usually, the movie does a good job of cutting out the events that are...

jhrcsr There is no way that a movie based on a book can include all the details of that book. It is unlikely that many movies that are based on books could be set into the 2 hour timeframe that most movies are allotted by television or movie theaters. I have...

shellyrios Wow, I didn't realize that was a book. I think Hollywood is lacking in imaginative, creativity so they constantly adapt books to screen. Even adult fiction is made into movies....It's almost worth the adaption if, true to your words they actually tell the...

cutepenguin I think if the book stays fairly close to the movie, it's okay. I mean, some things just aren't realistic and can't be done in a movie. I don't think they will be at all close with Bridge to Terabithia, because in the book, not much actually happened. A lot...

emeraldisle Well I haven't read that book so I'm not sure what the story line is supposed to be but I have seen others that Disney and other companies have altered. Disney in particular has altered many to make the endings especailly more acceptable to kids, like The...

krebstar5 There are very few movies that come to mind that are critically acclaimed and based on books. Some that come to mind are One Flew Over the Cukkoo's Nest, Cold Mountain, and Lord of the Rings. So if critical acclaim, makes a good movie I suppose it is possible....

alantae Most book based movies turn out to be disapointing for me simply because the movies have to cut out so much from the books. What we spend hours upon hours reading and thinking about has to be compressed into a couple hours of film, and then spiced up to...

I absolutely hated the book Catcher in the Rye. I don't understand why it's a classic. I thought it was inane and there was nothing rebellious or interesting about Holden Caulfield. He was a brat! Now it's your turn; tell me what...

emeraldisle Well a friend told me about it but I haven't really seen it yet. I went to the website and have to admit it does look interesting. Normally I don't watch reality tv shows but I might have to make an exception with this one.
