There are maybe a handful of exceptions where the movie exceeds the book because of creative choices that are made. The answer is always book because of the depths and world creation.
Book, but most books would actually be better as a Limited Series rather than a standalone movie. See: Daisy Jones and the Six. There’s no way they could properly put that story into a 2 hour timefr...more
Overwhelmingly the book…
Ready Player One is a great example of this… the world I built in my mind’s eye and the complexities of the storyline were so much better than how the movie neutered th...more
In most cases, the book. There are exceptions sometimes, but I enjoy the extra detail I get in a book. And I always prefer to read the book first if I can. The chance to envision the character how the...more
If I read the book first, I like the book more. If I watch the movie first, I like the movie more. But I’d rather read the book first. It just doesn’t alway happen that way.
I’ll pick book, but it does depend…
LOTR - excellent movies and the books are even better!
The Hobbit - amazing book with a way over-inflated movie adaptation!
Jurassic Park - I much prefer...more
I have to pick book, because I know there's more details and information in the book. But I'm more likely to just watch the movie. There are books I want to read though because I did enjoy the movies ...more
Tough to choose but all I can think is how they dragged the hobbit out for 3 whole movies when the book was perfect as it was. Also a huge fan of the Star Wars legends books from before Disney took ov...more
The big ones mentioned, Harry Potter, A Song of Ice and Fire, are such terrific books. As amazing movies as they were/ are, the books are better.
One instance in my life of the movie being better i...more
Books for the most part have more detail and lore. Best example is A Song of Ice and Fire. I loved the books but basically only the first season of Game of Thrones kept really close to the first book....more
Book. Always. It’s too much information to fit into a 2 hour movie. Some adaptations are good (Harry Potter), but the books are almost always better. Ready Player One cemented for me that I need to ...more
So…I do my best to separate the two and pretend the other doesn’t exist when I engage the opposite. It made Harry Potter especially enjoyable compared to purists. That said, I like the books bette...more
With the types of books that are turned into movies I typically watch the movie before reading the book. Jurassic Park and Lord of the Rings are two examples. I hated The Two Towers book as the second...more
Generally speaking, I'm a book guy. I like to see the book before seeing the movie or show. There have been cases where the movie or show got me to read the book and I almost always enjoy the book e...more
I'll pick book. I like both though. Based off my own conversations with friends, friends of friends etc, I think more people would like movies based off books if they understood what adaption means.
