Books made into movies yes or no?

[Talib Rasool]

Well I'd to love to watch the movie after reading the book it's like making the imagination into reality...

Depends. It's about whether the director can make it into a good movie or not, also whether the cast is able to carry out their roles or not. If the director can't picture the story clearly, change elements in a way which leaves the story consistent, then I'm absolutely against it. I have nothing against changing some elements of the story, but it's important they stick to the book at least a bit.

I agree for the most part. 9 times out of 10 I am frustrated when the choices made by the film maker fall short of the image I had in my head. 1 out of 10 times though I enjoy the film maker's version even better than what I had envisioned. Never does it match what I had in mind though.

As long as the casting is done well I have no problem with books being made into movies. But casting tends to fail a lot.

I feel the same way, which is way I love to read. I see what is happening in the story like seeing a movie in my mind.
But the short stories I have read that have been turned into movies understandably have more depth to them.

It depends. Some books are very nicely adapted into movies. Some are terrible. So I check what director and producer will be in charge before freaking out.

I personally don't mind having books made into movies. It's like having different versions of the story. Also, a movie adaptation could help promote the book as well.

[Nicole_Boyd]

With most every book I would say No, because they always seem to go so far away from the books plot line. However, I think The Hunger Games did a great job of following the books. Usually I hate it when books are made into movies though. If they would follow the books better I would feel differently.

[Jennz123]

Yes! Especially if I’ve already read the book and know it’ll be good

[Inkroverts]

It depends on how good the movie adaptations are, really.

[Asunta]

Honestly, it doesn't bother me. I've accepted movies and books as separate forms of art to present a story. But I do take it a little personally when the book happens to be one of my favourites and the movies messes the smallest details up.

[Felicity Granger]

There two warring perspectives when it comes down to this. On one hand I'm excited about the possibility of seeing a visual rendition of my favourite characters - I get to see certain scenes acted out, something I probably didn't grasp properly when reading the book has some light shed on it and so on. On the other, I always set my expectations so low because even with an amazing plot and divine characters the film adaptation always seem to mess something up and I end up kinda disappointed.

[Jennashby_87]

I love the idea of my favourite books being made into movies so they can be brought to life, but I am almost always disappointed by them.

[Leyla Ann]

book based movies are rarely decent in my opinion, I rarely, if never, appreciate how movies sway from the book version.

[Georgephilips]

I actually can't stand in when books are made into films, I love books for the reason that I can make the people look however I like and the landscape and everything I don't like that someone else tries to decide how I see the story....does anyone feel the same way?

Thought I was the only one who felt the same way
