It seems that typically the generally accepted thought "the book is ALWAYS better" rings true most of the time. As with everything there are exceptions. So, what movies do you think turned out "better" - either partially or completely - than the book? I believe is the ending of Misery was better than the ending in the book. The movie was creepy with the restaurant worker saying "I'm your #1 fan" in contrast to Paul Sheldon imagining that Annie was coming over the couch to get him. :shock: Your turn... |

Cool topic! I have never read the novel Misery. I only watched the film, so that is intersting. Another one I want to bring up is Blade Runner. 8) -Havard |

As a rule of thumb, I think whichever came first tends to be better. If a movie is made from a book the book is usually better, but if a book is made from a movie it tends to lack depth. It is interesting that movie creators feel the need to change details. I've seen a lot of discussion about LOTR and other movies where the film diverges from the script of the book. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. |
