Welcome to Films and Books Forum, the place to chat about movies, post movie reviews, compare a book to its film adaptation, discuss what makes a good book-to-film adaptation, and suggest books which you think would make a great movie adaption.
For me, it's the books and the series. I honestly didn't enjoy the movie, i love the cast don't get me wrong (each author individually), but I didn't feel like they were the right ones for each role. Magnus is my favorite character of all times and it was disappointing to see how they didn't do him justice in the movie. The series, on the other hand, I think was more in line with the adaptation in terms of the choice of cast and each of the episodes. But I would like to know what you think, which one/s do you choose?
Definitely the books go first. The series has some good aspects, like the characters of Magnus and Alec, but I honestly didn't enjoy them. The movie was good, but just that.
