When a book gets made into a movie, how do you usually feel? Do you prefer the book or the movie?

Most of the time I prefer the book (WAY more detail) only a few movies have met my expectations when they were made into a movie (Pet Semetary was a decent book turned movie...both scared the cr@p out of me )

I like the books better because of the details that get left out in the movie!

I always prefer the book also, but I enjoy a good movie from time to time! For instance, our family loves the Harry Potter books and movies, but we prefer to read the books. Seeing a well-made movie from book is a pleasure to watch, too.

I'm definitely a book person. Most of the time I'm disappointed in movies based on books. Even the Harry Potter movies. Even though they are good, I always find myself remembering what was missing. The I am Legend book was intriguing and scary, but the movie took total liberties and wasn't much like the book.

I try to view them as separate entities. This way I am not disappointed in the movies. Using Harry Potter as an example, I love both the movies and the books because the movies are made really well (the first two, not so well, but I love them just the same). Actually, now that I think of it, I have never not liked a movie after I've read the book. It's like a different interpretation of a song.

I usually prefer the book over the movie with a few exceptions -- The Bridges of Madison County, The Horse Whisperer, and Christine. I thought these 3 movies were better than the book.

I voted movie before even looking at the question. I do prefer the book. My boys are the same way.
