About everyone thinks that the books are usually better than their movies - but are there any movies that you think are really good - about as good as the book or even better?

I think the movie for Hoot was good. neutral

I didn't see Hoot.
Twilight was close to the book but that doesnt mena it was an improvement.

In the know-where-

i agree with brett . i watched the lord of the rings trilogy in an ultimate mega movie marathon with my entire family . as for the books ... let's just say i didn't mind when my dog chewed off the last page of 'the twin towers'.

'the hobbit', on the other hand, was a great book. they should have made a movie for that one ... ;-;

The book of Twilight was a thousand times better - they missed out good bits of the movie, cast it bad and generally ruined it xD

But I agree the LOTR trilogy was better in movie :3

I think The Hobbit had an amazing plot. However, the narrative style used in the book was... well... quite annoying. It was almost as if the third-person narrator had a personality, not to mention he gave away the plot at times. I would have enjoyed the book a million times better if the author changed something as small as that.

Oh Noes!
Another forum I forgot to check up on? Geez... I needa start remembering about this place...


Coming Soon:
Wolf Brother / The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness:
.- I know you're refering to movies that have already been made, but I have to say, I cannot wait for Wolf Brother to come out! -squeals like a maniac-
.- Supposedly they are only doing the first book, but if they do all six books, I may gizz in my pants.
.- Oh, too late. Already did.


Where the Wild Things Are:
.-PWNAGE!
.- When this comes out, I am going to see it while wearing a dopey little monster costume.
.- I loved that book. I think I still do. -goes to find it in my closet...-


Feature Presentation:



Old Stuff:
Eragon:
.- Eragon was an upsetting movie. It barely followed the book at all, and though they set it up for a sequel, I don't think they're actually going to get one out... -cries-
.- I have all the books that are out so far, and when the fourth, and last, come out, I'm getting it and reading it straight away. I just wish the movie had been better; the characters were great! Just, they got carried away with the plot.

A bunch of sparkly vampires and werewolves that run around trying to win the love of the biggest Mary Sue on the market. It was terribly written in my opinion and the movies are even worse. I perfer to read the book then watch the movie. Harry Potter proves that. I cant wait for the last movie though becuase I just want to see just how they can pull it off considering how much they cut out in the first 6 movies.

This goes right up my alley. Every book I read turns into films.

The following books that are becoming movies real soon.


Beastly- This was suppose be this year but they wanted Charlie St. Cloud to get some rating. This will be the first movie for the new CBC Films company.

I am Number Four- Looks good from the trailer. Micheal Bay and Steven Spielberg are directing it and the director of Eagle Eye will be directing this.

Avalon High- This movie was a made for television and it will be on Disney Channel. Before you go off and say Disney Channel sucks they will ruin it. Meg Cabot the writer of the novel, was watching over them like a hawk.

Paper Towns-John Green said that he is writing the script but it will be a while before it becomes a movie.

Vampire Acadmey- Made it news that the script got picked up by a film company. This film will be after the Harry Potter Crazed and Twilight Craze.
