Lots of people always prefer the book, because they like the most possible information. <br /><br />We liked the movie better for three reasons. 1) The book did not have a climax. All of the danger and risk were supposed to lead up to something. Then the book was released, nothing really bad happened, and it tapered off. Leading into that is 2) There was more emotional catharsis in the movie, and, finally, 3) The performances. Lots of people had a problem with the story, but no one could deny the performances. And isn't it fun to see the clothes?<br /><br />We often prefer movies. We're looking at overall experience most of the time. We were actually thinking of doing a whole post about movies and TV that we think topped the books they were based on. Hopefully you come around to yell at us, haha.<br /><br />Don't worry. HP won't be on it. We're not that crazy. When critics were saying that HP movie 5 topped the book, we wanted to hunt them down for the slaughter.Ern and Leeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02222918254913939721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228678769273144852.post-68715886194885767202011-09-06T05:48:50.907-07:002011-09-06T05:48:50.907-07:00Finally saw this.

I think I like the book so much better just because of all the little details and background that they had to leave out of the movie. Stewart's family for example. And while I do like it when they turn a good book into a movie, the movie always pales in comparison to my imagination.Mrs. Pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278469649040011788noreply@blogger.com
