chink masta Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 if theres a book. read the book and don't even bother seeing the movies. it will just frustrate you. always does. Quote Link to comment
bogliboi_blue Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Both have their merits...although the book is usually more satisfying. Then again there are books I consider crap reads so I'm content with just seeing them on the screen, if I ever do (I'm not much of a movie buff).

paulnorth Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I prefer to do both if possible. When I read a book, I will for sure watch it on a movie and see what differs between the two Quote Link to comment
moichi Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 book first. they're very satisfying. movies... only when there's no book... when there is a book, i watch the movie but usually there is a lot to be desired in the movie... usually bitin... Quote Link to comment
Borgie Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 i like both... they both have their own plus factors... the book leaves your imagination open so it tends to be more intense and satisfying... the movie gives more entertainment value, you just sit back, relax, eat your popcorn and let things happen and unfold... one is brainfood... the other is more like eye candy...

Frida Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 basta ako, i have never found a very good movie adaptation. laging mas maganda talaga ang book. Â --------------------Jericho Rosales and his Jeans band suck! Quote Link to comment
paulnorth Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 mas maganda book muna, para maintindihang mabut ung story. Then saka na ung movies, para mavisualize mo yung characters at scenes na nbasa sa book. mas ok dba? Quote Link to comment
vanillasky Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 YEPPP.. DASH RAYT!!! just like in the case of davinci code... i don't think the people understood the movie pera na lang dun sa nakabasa nung libro... pag sa movie kasi aside from the dialoguesnaeenhance lanmg ngvisuals eh.. ang nangyari puro dakdakan sa movie... sa kaso ng harry potter series.. mas gusto ko yung book kaysa sa movie... sa lord of the rings naman mas ok sa akin yung movie kesa sa mismong book.. but its just because the english used in the novel was old and grabe talaga pagkakagawa ni peter jackson... :thumbsupsmiley: :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
john2004 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 movie muna pagkatapos books naman then movie uli. Quote Link to comment
Palakol Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 kung gusto ko ng malalim, magbabasa ako ng libro.kung gusto ko ng aksiyon, manonood ako ng pelikula. Quote Link to comment
Hekate Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 *med well with hollywood booming and distributing films like pancakes to every country known to man...a question pops out...do you guys prefer to read a book or just wait for it on screen? Reading is by far more enjoyable. There are no limits to you what you can think of based on what you've read. Though this is not to say I don't watch the movie. I find it interesting because you get to see someone else's point of view on how a book is interpreted. Quote Link to comment
DonImus Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 For Harry Potter it's the book. For LOTR i go for the movie. Peter Jackson ang galing mo hayup ka!!! Quote Link to comment
abujjam Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Movies. Â I have been trying to develop the habit of reading but it's either I get bored, impatient or fall asleep. I will keep on trying. Quote Link to comment
Cmayfrayna Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 both..... but i like reading it first before watching it on the movies..... :thumbsupsmiley:   except for the bourne series...didnt read it on the books but i enjoyed the movies Quote Link to comment
Headroom Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 I prefer reading - a good example and one that gets mentioned often in this thread is the Lord of the Rings. While I genuinely loved the movies there were parts of it that wouldn't have made sense to me unless I had read the books (which I have done several times). Similar story with the Da Vinci Code. Books can provide narrative on characters, places and situations that sometimes can be hard to glean from a movie or by just seeing it on the screen. Aside from that I find reading relaxing.

clam_eater Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 usually the books are better than the movies. but there are times the movies are better than the books i love the books better: interview with the vampire, queen of the damned, harry potter series, lord of the rings,... i love the movies better: the godfather however, the bourne series is a different matter. both books and movies are good. actually they shouldnt be compares since the movies never followed the books at all unlike the other book-based movies Quote Link to comment

themanual Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 movies. books a very close second. hehe Quote Link to comment
reachard Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 complete details if you are reading the book but it's also different when watching the movie Quote Link to comment
Guest mirang Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 both... movies are not as detailed as books but they're more visual, if u have a rich imagination then book is better Quote Link to comment
Guest lustfortravel Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I still prefer reading a good book over watching its movie version. That is how I am able to appreciate the sheer talent of the authors which often get lost in translation in scripts. Quote Link to comment
simplejoys Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 read the book first. complete ang images na mabubuo ng mind than the movie. kulang ang mga scenes,most are iniba na ang story para magkasya sa isang movie. besides, words that the author wrote are more "colorful" than the movies.

sha79 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Books for me. ...Films leave little to viewers’ imaginations. When you read, you’re creating your own movie in a sense, and decide the most important parts: how the characters speak, what they look like, and what their surroundings are like. This process of imagining and interpreting as reader is a creative process distinctly different from viewing a film. ryt? Quote Link to comment
aff1979 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Books here Must complex kc ang book eh gagana talaga utak mo, either thru imaginng the seen or the plot itself, sometimes kc the plot s movies ngaun either rewrite or revise ng old movies. must madali kc mag take ng risk s book for new plot or topic Quote Link to comment
coldwood Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 movie tamad ako magbasa eh..hehe Quote Link to comment
