I generally really hate it when a book it turned into the movie, because the movie version is usually horrible or completely differnt from the book.

Yes, I like seeing the movies.
It gives you another persons perception/view on the book.
They usually do leave stuff out, but it's cool to know what they found important.

I agree. I loved the Twilight book but the movie wasnt as good. The movie left out so much stuff. That's how it usually is for all books turned into movies. They're just a sorry excuse for people too lazy to read a book.

No, I truly do not. There is so much material in the book that it simply cannot be put into a movie, unless the book becomes a mini-series. One rare exception of a book being translated was Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove.
It won the Pulitzer Prize in 1985...and was made into a TV mini-series around 1990...I had read the book shortly after it was printed, and what I had imagined in my mind's eye was pretty much what appeared on the screen with the mini-series.
It was a production of the highest quality in which no expense was spared to bring that story to the public. Rarely is that quality of work found on television, on in any visual medium, in fact.
Another book to small screen adaption that was sublime was John Adams, the mini-series based upon the biography of our second president...the program was on HBO, and both it and Lonesome Dove can be purchased on VHS or DVD...both books and movies are worth a once-over!

I agree with you completely. Sometimes the movie even ends different than the book does. That really gets me!

No, I think books should stay books, and movies should stay movies.

At first I get kinda excited. But after I've seen the movie, I always b1tch about how they screwed it up so much. So the answer to your question is no.

It's only good if they keep it all the same. Like the original Time Machine. But other than that, no.
