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.
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.
