Hi Guys! with movie producers churning out film versions of our favorites... LOTR, Harry Potter, Twilight, and the latest Hunger Games... how are we reacting to this? :)

for me, no amount of good production & all-cast movie can put justice to a book...its far away different from the images you form in your mind while reading...

... i agree that most of the books made into movies did not give justice to the book..

but there are decent movies from books that has been done....

when I watch a movie based on a book, i always expect that there are going to be many deviations from the book especially if it came from a novel.... but the thing that makes me excited is the skill of the writers/director on how they will compress the novel into a 1.5 to 2 hour movie.

this is how i base my opinion on the movie..

A good thing with movie adaptations of books is that once in a while we are treated to a movie that does give some sort of justice to the novel. Plus, you get to see a concrete picture of that fictional world.

I still remember the first time I watched the LOTR movies. :3

May have been lacking many scenes from the books, but the imagery was breathtaking.
