if i read the book i usually dont bother with seeing the movie because akot of stuff will get overlooked because movies have to focus on how long the ending movie will be and the budget so i find the books are way better with anything

I like seeing what each version of the story brings to the table.

I like to see the movie first before reading the book, so if the film is interesting I'll read the book.

I love movies. I do read but if there was a choice between a movie and a book, I'd watch the movie.
Many times, I have found the movie to be better than the book.

Years ago, I saw The "Joy Luck Club" movie and read the book. I read the book first. Both book and movie were very good.

I hear you Vicogden, that's so true. There's nothing better than reading a good book and then watching it in a good movie  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I'm with my mother on this one, the books are ALWAYS better than the movies!

I am a big reader.  I often find the movies aren't as good as the boks.  Sometimes they change the whole ending.

To me it always seems that the book is much better than the movie.   Out of the books that I have read, whenever the movie came out I went to see it and was somewhat disappointed.  Good movies but not as good as the books..
