they are more fun and interesting

Fight Club was a better book than movie.

It depends

If ur lazy movie

Mostly for the end fight.

Books are usually better.

im reading "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold at the moment, and im super excited for the movie to come out!! This is related to the discussion because I don't know how the movie will ever be as good as the book since in the book you see the thoughts and feelings of the characters, whereas in the movies you kinda have to piece it together.

I like books more!
Don't get me wrong. I love movies, but books are just better because you get to know the characters more. You get to know the thoughts and emotions of the characters.

Depends what book or movie it is. Most books are better than movies, because they can include more ideas and stuff that movies cant. Also movies most of the time are based of books, and they drop out parts of the books. I would say that movies are better for visualization, but if you really want to know what is going on, go grab a good book. That is why most of the time I read the book before I go see the movie.

Movies. I just really despise reading.

books make u more creative, maybe because u imagine everything.
but it depends on the point of view.


i like both.

I'd rather read the books, because sometimes the movies can be really fucked up to hell.

Example: The Eragon movie.

I don't mind when books are turned into movies as long as they don't completely ruin the story and fuck up the plot, miss the point, etc. etc...

Watching a movie then reading a book is a different experience than reading the book then watching the movie.
If you watch the movie first it can be a lot more interesting, since while you're reading the book, you'll think about a lot of the differences.
But reading the book first can get you more hyped up and wondering what differences there are before you see the movie.

generally books but Shawshank redemption made a better movie

usually books because the movie is usually never like you thought the book was like. (that sentence made no sense but whatever :p)

I would like to say books.. but I don't like reading.. so..
I'm just so impacient I can't read because I try to jump all the description and stuff I don't fucking care.. and it's all a mess so I prefer movies.

Books, then movies for me.

i actually really like books because they can go anywhere and they can be very interesting if you choose the right book for you. i love movies too.
but i will have to say books are better, most of the time they inspire movies.

BOTH! If a movie and a book asked me to marry them, instead of choosing between the two, it would be a polygamous relationship. Ok no, gross, that was a joke.

depends.
example : twilight the movie looks/sounds better then the book.
&
gossip girl, the book was more interesting then the shows. but they' k.

Harry Potter book > HP Movies
Even though the movies are pretty good.

But as for other books, I don't know.

The Bible.

i prefer books. in them, superman can actually fly. in movies they need special effects

Movie def Movie if you read the book it gets you confused and stuff
Movie explains and shows stuff like the people then you know what they look like

Not if you know how to read.
Usually books explain what their characters look like.

no offense but that made u sound soooooo stupid
sorry

well books r more detailed
but most people watch the movies either kuzz they want a easier way to find it out or they dont like to read the books

or some people hav a.d.d. which makes it really hard to read
i hav a.d.d. and i can only read for about 20 minutes then take
a 5 minute break

Books forsure, with the exception of Nicholas Sparks who is a shitty writer yet has pretty good plot ideas so the movies usually turn out better since you don't have to read his terrible descriptions.

Books..

With books you can imagine what you want to imagine with the info given..

and with movies its just there.. no imagination needed...

Books are so much fun.. haha

"the movies are just an illustration for the book."
that's what i think

I have a feeling you have no idea what your talking about.

They're both as good as eachover depending on the situation.

i agree with whoever said that the stuff aboout Eragon, the book was great but the movie sucked. i hope they don't skrew up the twilight movie i mean i swear to god if they do i will send them all very angry emails!!!

also i think we should be friends.

i love to read but books are too much work, its easier to see the movie and you also get a better understanding of the story if you see the movie.


they will screw up the twilight movie.
twilight is a retard.
i like the series of the "uglies" "pretties" and "specials" better

I couldn't pick, they're both wonderful

idk i hardly read. but when i read the book is uasually better

Movies are usually better.

it depends...i read the davinci code and i looooved the book, but when i watched the movie, i thought that was not as cool as the book...buuuuuuut about brazilian literature, the movies are better...brazilian literature sucks Oo i hate that books and i do prefere the movies =D

Movies because reading is boring.

Isnt there already a thread?

gah,whatever..
hmm, books.
it's bettar.

books are better
movies usually change the story a little.
but id rather watch a movie, then read a book.

Movies.

how can you say that!!!
thats the best book ever!!! so god

Books by far.

I can't wait to see how the Watchmen movie turns out.
Although, I'm quite certain it won't be as good as the graphic novel.

Example: The chronicles of narnia

It kinda depends

Most books are better.
'Cept fer Harry Potter. : D
