Ditto, I disliked the first book, and the other two were ok, but the movies were far superior, one of the few cases of adaptation distillation (adatation being better than the original)Altorin said:hahaha... that was one of the more awesome things I've read recently here.. I don't blame you.. I tried to read the books prior to seeing the movie.. I mean, I had 3 years to do it.Bowstring said:I'm actually replaying Max Payne, so when I go to watch the movie at the cinema with my friends, I can ruin their fun by pointing out everything and shouting "that wasn't in the game!" Ad infinitum.
Well, they did it to me with LOTR. I refuse to sit and read a trilogy of books that long. I don't care if the movies didn't accurately represent all the characters. THAT'S RIGHT JAMES. I DON'T FUCKING CARE.
Managed to do it for the first one.. didn't care for the book.. JUST managed to do it for the second one.. LOVED that book for some reason
could never get through the third book.. so I enjoyed the movie as a movie and bravo![]()
Sigh... I read those books when the only film version available was the godawful animated fellowship and far worse musical animated rotk *shudder... where there's a whip, there's a way* the pain, the horror.... I'd rather be molested by a bhyakhee, but the scarring is permanent.Altorin said:hahaha... that was one of the more awesome things I've read recently here.. I don't blame you..
