a lot of ppl say that the books are better than the movies, but a lot of the time, i think the movies are better.
so far i have
harry potter series
lord of the rings
the green mile
and thats it.
plz give me more examples =]

personally i would have to agree with the saying that books are better than the movies :] the movies tend to cut out alot of the details due to the time that is given while the book really goes into detail on imagery and such :] it really nice to evolve around a more detailed imagination kind of thing ya know :] such as harry potter for example and the lord of the rings --those were really good books :], also the movie for umm that book by lemony snicket lol..series of unfortunate events! that movie was pretty lame compared to the book and i bet fans would agree on that..or even just the viewers :] books are better for me ^^

yea...books are better because it's more for the imagination and it goes into the thoughts of the characters. but for some movies, just the way that the actors portray the characters are just so moving =]

yeah thats true..liek in harry potter i think they found a really good ronald weasley to play the part harry was ok..but i figured somebody somewhat taller lol

I think books are better than movies They explain more because you can imagine your own characters and stuff like that. In a movie, it's hard to cram in everything in the book in a 1 and a half hour movie.

books are usually written first before the movie. the books have the original story. the movies always end up being different or has a different twist to it. thats what i think.

books are interesting & has alot of details.
but can't understand the whole thing without watching the movie.
like eragon.

I think that by reading you can use your imagination...and movie characters can be very disapointing some times!
but lots of movies are better than the original book.
like for example, Bridget Jones Diary, the movie has more action and fun.
but the Da Vinci Code movie is very bad, and the book is (a little) better!

i think it depends on the people.

i dont like to read much,
so i prefer watching movie than reading.
but reading is ok.

I prefer books also. You get a lot of details with the book but I guess I'm a bit biased since I'm a bookworm. Hehe!

I always seem to get disappointed watching the movie versions since there are a lot of scenes cut out so they could squeeze as much as they can of the book into a two hour movie.
