I Like To Read discussion

What book made into movie was the best? What I mean is which movie did the best of replicating the book/s?

Ooh tough one well if I were to say I think that Harry (I think that's how Harry is spell) Potter what the best

Agreed, the movies were almost perfect! I mean they missed out on a lot of stuff like Winkie and the Elf society

Ya U got me there but i still like em>

yeah but defenintly harry potter! (and they dont have peeves!)

Best book-movie ever is hands down Cloud Atlas <3333

I've never heard of it, what's it about??

I agree with The Harry Potter, even though they left stuff out but they didn't CHANGE anything, they just left it out. But who knows what the worst is...

The worst one was Percy Jackson... Toliet no go boom! But the best one I've ever watched was the City of Ember! I don't know how they got the hugemongous wasp things but it was still kinda accurate to the book!

I agree, PJO they ruined! I don't know how they even continued with SoM

Yea i agree Nicole

yes, and i think the mrs. weasley and the bellatrix battle was way to fast, when in the books it was more epic.

True Very True Julia

Haha your sister had good intentions!

The Notebook!

I'm hoping the City of Bones movie will be really amazing..*crosses fingers*

Me too!!!! So far it's lookin good!

It is SO good!!!! It is one of my top 5 favorite book series..and City of Bones is one of my fav books in general. It is SO freakin fantastic!! The main guy, Jace, is actually so hot and wonderful. read it!!!

I'm gonna be at the midnight premiere...lol :)

Read the series it's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope I can go to the premier! I'm not sure yet but I hope sooo!!

I've actually seen movies I thought were better than the books. No, really! Alex Flinn's BEASTLY, Cornelia Funke's INKHEART, and Nancy Orr's NIM'S ISLAND. Plenty of people will disagree with me, but... *shrug*

Oh yes!!! beastly was such a good movie!! Especially considering that Alex Pettyfer was Kyle!! I think the book and movie were both very good, none outshining the other.

I have read the book, I have not seen the movie

I get to go to the Hobbit the day it comes out ((or maybe the next day because of school the dance and my BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!))

OMG THE HOBBIT I HAVEN'T EVEN READ IT AND I WANT TO SEE THE MOVIE (better read it then see the movie) BUT THEN I WILL BE VERY CRITICAL ABOUT THE MOVIE SO WHAT TO DO
GO AND DON'T READ
OR
READ THEN GO

I don't know!!! But it is coming out on my Birthday, like Skyfall did on my dads birthday lol

The Hunger Games! :)

They did pretty good with that

I think the best book to movie was The Outsiders. I still like to watch it all these years later.

I guess I will go for BLINDESS ..
Its special somehow away from the effects and all that.
The story, scenario and the crew act ..

Harry Potter and Lord of the rings.

: D

I love: HP, LOTR, Golden Compass, Hunger Game

The one I like the book, but not that much the movie was Ella Enchanted.

I think Silence of the Lambs has to be one of the best.

NO NO go see it first, that way if anything is left out, you won't be missing it and reading the book will enhance your experience later

Exactly my point thanks Julie

But what'd they completely change something if you see the movie first when you read the book you will think "the author changed this" but if you read the book first you will know " the director changed this"

Well ok

I view it as Oh I have seen the movie now Lets see how bad it was compared to the book

Oh well everyone's different!

I think my favorite book/movies are Harry Potter and the Hunger Games so far. There are so many that are coming out in the next few years. I am really excited!

I can't wait for Catchting Fire!

Same here i can't wait (and I don't Care if they say the hunger games for girls I loved it anyway)
