discuss Movies vs. Books: Which Is Better?

[Immortal]

Adapting books into movies is a popular trend. A lot of successful movies are actually made from books When movies are adapted from books, fans often debate which version is better. Do you think movies do justice to the book? Do you think movies are better made than the book or do you see vice versa? Do you prefer reading the book first when it is adapted into movie?

Though watching a movie is fun but I doubt it can ever beat the book. There are so many things they tend to cut out when adapting the movies from the book.

While there is originality in books, movies have visual impact and can even improve upon the book. A voluminous book can be reduced to a 2-hour movie. It is easier for me to watch movies than read a book.

Nah, I have never watched a movie and thought it better than the book. Movies don't really do justice to the books they are adapted from, which is understandable as not all details in books can be replicated in the movie.

I would have to say it depends on the material. There are times when the book can be more descriptive of a scene with the help of one's own imagination and there are other times when the visual element is more effective.

I prefer to read the books first before watching the movies. It makes it more enjoyable for me. Sometimes the movie would be different with the book, and that is alright because they need to add some twist too.

When I was younger and less busy, I preferred reading the books before watching a movie. Now, ain't nobody got time for that, lol.

We can turn books into nice movies. The actors can help to enhance our understanding of the story. Occasionally, movies can even make the story even more interesting. But still, books are something unique because it lets us use our own imagination while reading it.

It's true that the books has more depth but movies can make the story memorable and more interesting. I might not agree totally that it's better in books.

I was the same way too but life gets busy and things happen which makes me priorities my activities. Now, my preference as changed because I prefer to watch the movie first.

I have always preferred a movie over a book but since we may not get to know about the complete and true story via a movie so there are times when I go for book to learn more about the topic in detail and to check the real facts.

It is not possible to give answer to a question like what is better between movies and books. That's because everyone has preference, and then these two are different mediums and cannot be compared. Movie markers take a lot of creative freedom while adapting movies into screen, which I think is perfectly fine.
