I find that most movies made after a book really let me down, they just don't capture the characters in the book like I wish they would. I do however really like most of the Harry Potter movies and I also like the books.
The movie Tuck Everlasting is MUCH different than the book and has a totally different ending, for that reason I am not a big fan of the movie.
Let's make this a blog about comparing movies and books of the same title. Please tell us the name of the movie / book and tell us which one you liked more and why? Of course other people are encouraged to write back to you and offer opinions about your choice in a RESPECTFUL way.
Have fun!
First comment :D
ReplyDeleteAnyway. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. I read the book, and enjoyed it, but the movie had a COMPLETELY different plot, with the only theme in common being food falling from the sky. The movie was much longer and had a more complicated plot, but the book had a sort of heartwarming ring to it. In all, I prefer books.

ReplyDeleteI have read this book called Lightning Thief and compared to the movie. The movie is way longer and also the movie adds details that is not in the book.I think the movie that I watched does capture the characters.I like the movie because it can give me a picture in my head.
i started reading this book made after a movie and it was a really bad book. it was called "Sabrina the teenage witch". i knew it was made by the movie because i had already seen the movie and the book had a picture of some of the main characters.
ReplyDeleteI read the book The Lightning Thief after I saw the movie and i thought that the book was better because in the movie they left out some parts and when i read the book they added so much more details.
ReplyDeleteim sorry Big Fat Fluffy pig like bunny man but i think the book was better, the movie was good but in my opinion the book was better.
ReplyDeleteBig Fat Fluffy pig like bunny man, is it ok if I just called you BFFPLBM?
ReplyDeletei started reading the book but i didn't like it i also liked the movie more
ReplyDeletei liked the lightning thief a lot and i know the movie Sabrina the teenage witch and i never read the book...
ReplyDeleteHi- I loved Harry Potter and I loved the movies even though they are sort of different. I LOVED Harry Potter 7 and I am going to see the 7th movie part 2 this Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Aquarmine's movie was 10 times better than the book because it was more interesting.

ReplyDeleteI keep waiting for the book Hatchet to be turned into a movie, I think it's such a great book by Gary Paulson and if it was to be made into a movie I would see it in a heart beat.
ReplyDelete-Now that I think about it some more, the Lord of the Rings books (there are 3 of them) are some of my favorite books of all time and the movie are great in my opinion as well. They really stay true to what the books are all about and don't change too many things at all.
I'm sorry Mr. Janow but i didn't really like the book Hatchet. I mean it was good but not one of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteMr. Janow, what it never gets turned into a movie??? maybe if it does get turned into a movie i hope it would be as good as the book. i never read Hatchet but i hope its as good as you say it is.
ReplyDeleteTo tell you the truth if Hatchet comes out as a movie i think the movie would be better.
ReplyDeletereally? whats the book about??
ReplyDeleteit's hard to summarize!

ReplyDeleteAhh, whatever. I haven't read Hatchet either, but it sounds like a good book. Pity I don't have [access to] it.
Even though this book isn't a sixth grade level, I still loved Mr. Popper's Penguins, but was really let down with the movie because it was just like totally different
ReplyDeleteusually i like the books more. the book that we are reading in story lunch is EXTREMELY GOOD! i saw the movie and it REALLY let me down!!!
ReplyDeletehi!
ReplyDeletewho is "this is not the real lollipop"?
ReplyDeletehello! oh thats "me" i created two cuz i did my email on yahoo then i made one off of gmail.
ReplyDeletesorry if i confused anybody!
HI!!!!
ReplyDeletehi sophie!!
ReplyDeletei usually like the book better than the movie but in cloudy with a chance if meatballs i like the movie better because more happened in it. i liked the book the lightning thief better than the movie because everything was totally different. i think that if the book is long than they have to cut out a lot of things so the movie isn't that long but they take out the best parts in my opinoin

ReplyDeleteI liked Charley and the Chocolate Factory/Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory the movie more than the book. I felt the suspense more when I watched the movie, and I found it kind of hard to imagine the characters in the book.
ReplyDeleteIn general, I like reading books more than watching movies. I like the way you can picture the scene in your mind, and see how the characters look. Sometimes I like to watch the movie afterward, though, just to see someone else's opinion.
i like charlie and the chocolate factory movie better because when the oopaloopas sing they give you more of an image.
ReplyDeleteWho is Piggy-0?
ReplyDeletepiggy o is catherine
ReplyDeleteWhat do you guys like about Charlie the chocolate factory?
ReplyDeleteo Hie Catherine I didn't know that you are on the blog.
ReplyDeleteis anyone on the blog?
ReplyDeleteI read a book called To Kill a Mocking Bird. I like the book better because you can get a better picture of the story. Also, in the movie, it started in the middle of the book and even had some added scenes which were not in the book. Frankly, I like the book better.
ReplyDeleteSee you all on Monday.
ReplyDeleteare people still on?
ReplyDeleteat Bowen we read Because of Winn Dixie in 4th grade.we watched the movie after the book.
ReplyDeletethe movie and book were different, but generally they were alike. its hard to say weather i liked the movie or the book better. i guess our opinions also depend on weather you read the book or see the movie first.

ReplyDeletefound it!!
ReplyDeleteOh also heres another last year if anyone was in ms torans class at zervas we read a book called where the red fern grows and then saw the movie. I enjoyed both the same because like the movie didnt really have as much detail and left out many parts yet i liked how i saw the character and things in the movie and i saw reeaaally cute puppys in the movie that i couldnt see it the book!
ReplyDeleteI read the Blind Side and then watched the movie.The book and movie is about a homeless boy who is adopted to later become a football star. I liked the movie better because I thought I was more serious and I thought the book made the story sound like a fairy tale. That why I like The movie The Blind Side better then the book.
ReplyDeletei LOVED where the read fern grows!!!
