I agree with this gentleman.Onyx Oblivion said:I'd have to say LotR, only because reading the books is like a brick wall with the insane detail that the book goes into describing EVERYTHING.
The LotR-books are very slow. The movies, however, are masterpieces.
I like watchmen because of the characters, and the moral dilemmas that they face.ironduke88 said:don't know if it counts but the watchmen film was far more enjoyable than the 'book', I watch/read stuff to be entertained and the film did a better job than the 'book' ever did.
same goes for LoTR...
The series was longer and more detailed (for obvious reasons), so we got to know every character better. Their backstory and intentions etc.
But the movie is great too.
OT:
Star Wars, but I guess it makes sense as the books came after the movies.
