I don't hate, or dislike the LoTR books, I found them hard to enjoy is, I do believe my first comment was. Tolkien has a style, or rather his very own unique style of writing completely for himself, and if he had a audience he trusted you to follow along as best you could. A tad selfish but the man was a pure academic who wanted to be a creative writer, and creative he was, we wouldn't have Middle Earth and real its deep imagery, and that would be a crying shame.
Tolkien is also the King of the coolest names ever created for characters places and things. lol

but for me i say the godfather (the first and the second)
it was an ok book, awesome movies
I disagree with misery, i think its one of king's where he actually tried to build the scary suspense, but the movie was fucking awesome, i remember the first time i watched, i was 11 and had crawled into my mom bed just before it started by the part where he wakes up in her house i had the blanket up to my eyes in suspense cause I knew that ***** was crazy lmaoWrathful said:
It was also much stupider than I Am Legend. Anti-technology vampires... who use catapults and wear mass-produced sunglasses.Wadders said:
[Edit] Whoa, this thread is a lot longer than I thought it was.
Oh my God Battle Royal is a case in book. I am currently reading the 526 page novel and its AMAZING. But the movies good too and I can't choose.
I agree in principle on the Bourne series, but only because the movies were good on their own. If they had even tried to do the books justice, they probably would have failed miserably. The books were just too in depth to be made into a screen playsunburst313 said:
alright, the books were okay. But come on, I've had rye bread that wasn't that dry. The amount of detail in them made them sound like someone was telling the IT guys what to add to the CGIbrodie21 said:
(trying not to nerd rage or troll)Are you freaking kidding me? all quiet was so painful to watch in the movie, you didn't get to picture anything or hear any of Paul's thoughts!!!JEBWrench said:
Plus the acting and battle scenes were god awful, even for it's time period.The Book was amazing compared to the movie.
Lord of the Rings movies were pretty sweet, I like them A LITTLE better than the movie, mainly because it was painful to read through all the walking and riding while describing landscape, I understand books shouldn't be guns and car chases but Tolkien overdid the detail(then again it made the series and in his time books were written like this)So I guess I'm undecided.EDIT:dammit, ninja'd
Overall most books are better than movies though.
