The BOOK or the MOVIE?
 
I say the BOOK is always INFINITELY better than the movie...For some reason, I have been disagreed with...Is this because people don't READ THE BOOKS? What is YOUR preference?

THE BOOK? Books put me to sleep, it's not exciting untill the movie!:cool:

Of the books i have read that have a coorisponding movie, ive almost always preferred the book. One exception is silver bullet which way better than the King book "cycle of the werewolf"

both, I love to see a movie and then read the book, 2 times the fun, cause books are mostly better, more details and shit

I have to say both too. I usually like to read the book first though so I can spot everything that's been changed.

depends completley on the movie or book, i usualy prefer the book but sometimes the movie is better, take starship troopers for example, the movie is exelent, i never got half way thrugh the book.

personally i like the book better, but i always watch the movie as well. i always read the book first though; if i dont like the book i wont watch the movie

The books are always better, at least for horror. They are usually scarier and much more discriptive.

Any Horror book is in my opinion better then any horror movie.

Books are my favorite form of entertainment.

Are we talking about "based on the book" movies or movie novelizations? 2 very different things.

if you like to read then you will find out that books are better than movies.. BUT if visual stimulates you then movie is the way to go... i myself prefer both.. sometimes I feel like a book and sometimes I dont

The book is definitely better.... that's coz i have a very vivid imagination.... !

The movie cheapens the scenes.

SoUl SuRvIvOrS 12-07-2003 06:38 PM

BOOKS are my choice ....I must agree with coldwhisper the movies cheapen it, then again if they can get FX to equal my imagination I might be willing to rethink my opinion.:D

FreddyFan 12-08-2003 05:56 PM

I like them both but I do prefer the books better.
