Book Or Movies?

[kramski]

case to case. read the book maraming important details sa aklat na hindi naipapakita or included sa movie. except forthe LOTR trilogy, i enjoyed the movie more kasi ang hirap magsulat ni JRRTolkien hindi ko maintindihan ang ipinagsususulat nya, hard to read ang mga books nya eh. parang nagbabasa ka ng mga taong nagtatalumpati,

always a book unless its sexual in nature....

I prefer to watch the movie.. but sometimes when books I've read become movies.. I've noticed that movies don't always stick to the book.. much less deliver or give justice to the book

[DaVincilog]

the book will always be better. bonus na lang if the movie adaptation is up to par.

 

Sin City looks promising but maybe because the author, Frank Miller is also involved.

 

i am already preparing myself to be disappointed with the hitchhiker's guide..i dunno what it is but i feel it's going to take a lot to give justice to douglas adams' work.

 

chronicles of narnia, baka pwede na. we'll see

books are mentally stimulating movies don't always reflect the depth of the written word, it may be visually appealing but books would always grab ur soul and tease ur brains

 

i almost cried reading les miserable

You know what? Everyone's right. A book can give your imagination a boost. Nothing beats a great imagination. Another person was right that you can't cuddle with a book but you can cuddle with a movie. I guess I can add jokingly, you can't masturbate to a good book but you can masturbate to a good porn video.

 

But where do you get the phrase, "A picture is worth more than a thousand words."? Aha!

but sometimes, the book version is better than the movie itself

I'd prefer a good book simply because it's often difficult to find a good, even decent film version of the original. In addition, a lot of great books have yet to be made into movies (or have proven to be cumbersome) that would tackle it in its similar (if not same) meaning or essence. 

 

Dune by Frank Herbert is perhaps one of the best examples.

 

You just don't lose with a good book.

couldnt agree with u more!

 

i loved the first few dune books but absolutely hated the movies/tv series versions of dune.

 

i have never liked a movie version of any book i love. there is just no comparison!

Books!

 

Movies tend to be influenced and modified by the directors in ways that do injustice to the author and his masterpiece.

[rabibie]

to watch a movie is easier than read a book but for more imagination, the book has more room for that...

[skull_leader]

I read the book first then watch the movie...

wala pa akong napapanood na movie adaptation of a book that gave justice to the book. always a disappointment for me. the movie by itself may be good. but if ive read the book before watching the movie i always end up disapppointed. perfect example is cider house rules. ganda ng sine pero walang binatbat sa libro. anothe one is catch-22.
