I agree. Sometimes, when they turn books into movies, they leave out important details, which can be frustrating.aspiringvoice27 wrote: ↑06 Nov 2017, 15:00 I prefer book rather than movie cause even small details of the story is written,,but in the movie..only the importamt part...cause need to maximize for the time frame

After reading the novel, I can't enjoy the movie as much. The changes and things left out really affect the experience for me. "The Book Thief" and then seeing the movie trailer. I couldn't bring myself to watch it because it seemed like the book's magic might not translate well to the screen. I believe capturing the essence of a book in a movie is a difficult task.Arcenio Ogues wrote: ↑10 Aug 2023, 00:39 I would love to read the book first and then watch the movie. If I do it the other way around it might ruin my expectation for either the book or the movie. If I watch the movie first, it's like a spoiler to the book. And usually, the movie version already has changes, revised versions, and even omissions. Plus, reading the book as the author wrote the story is much better.

As for the Hunger Games and Divergent trilogies. I Read those books before the movies and I enjoyed the movies too
But as for Game of Thrones. I watched the series long before I decided to start reading the books and unfortunately, I couldnt read them. Im not entirely sure why but I remember thinking it felt like a chore to read them when I had already known what the story so far. But is the last book out yet I wonder? I remember the TV producers had to come up with their own take on what happens at the end even though the book hadnt finished..

However, if the subject was not that interesting, it would be better as a movie,as it would go faster.
