Now days it is very popular to take books that are already written and turn them into movies, they do this probably because they are running out of ideas so overall it is not a bad thing. The problem with this only arises when people decide to read the book AND see the movie. This instantly sets one up for failure because depending on which you do first the story is already portrayed a certain way in your mind. This makes which ever one you do second seem wrong, even though they are pretty similar. Take Harry Potter for example, it is a great book and a great movie but every person who read the book first pointed out every single flaw in the two hour long movies furious that they missed one little detail. As someone who only saw the movie I felt more than satisfied with the amount of knowledge received from the movie. Generally the book is usually better but Hollywood has really stepped up their game in making the movie equally as good. This doesn’t mean don’t read books or don’t see any of these movies, it just means you should pick which one you are going to do right off the bat instead of setting yourself up for disappointment.
