I absolutely loved the book. I love Stephen King for all of his idiotic intricacies.
V for Vendetta was an okay adaptation. It hit most of the important events, but it cut a whole mess of characters and the several characters they did keep, they were minimized tremendously. If they did an extremely faithful adaptation, it would be an amazing film.
American Psycho was a great movie but a lot more happened in the book than in the movie, but i guess you can't have some of the shit that happened in that book in a movie.
[QUOTE=darcy010;37121666]Angels and Demons is the worst film adaptation in history. It's like they took everything that made the book so interesting and suspenseful, and cut it out to make way for "lol bishops dying". [/QUOTE] I didn't think it was that bad, they corrected some of the inaccuracies of the book, and I kinda agree that they took out the parts like the assassin being a [sp]rapist as well as a killer.[/sp] I think it was far better that he was just in it for the money, an ordinary hired gun. Plus [sp]the last cardinal survived in the movie, as opposed to them all dying, to show that they were catching up with the killer.[/sp] Obviously you're entitled to your own opinion, and I'm by no means suggesting that this is your reasoning, but I hate it when people hate adaptions because they're not exactly the same as the book. I have a cousin who's huge into Marvel comics, and every Marvel film that comes out, the first thing he says about it is how inaccurate it is.
[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;37130991]Quite a few are good, most of the rest are garbage. The Shawshank Redemption Stand By Me Misery The Green Mile The Mist Secret Window Those are the good ones.[/QUOTE] Green Mile was silly
"Adaptation" starring Nicholas Cage is amazing.
