What do you think? I've read: Underworld-much better than the movie League of Extraordinary Gentlemen[I]-Very good, but they drastically changed the ending, I didn't like it.
[I]X2: X-Men United-Pretty much copy and paste expect for the ending, which was brilliantly written The Mummy Returns-Pretty good, don't remember it very well Spider-Man-better than the movie
X2: X-Men United-totally agree with you on this
queen of the damned-great book /horrid movie
Count of Monte Cristo-loved both...but only got to read half the book but what read I loved
the stand-great book and actually the tv movie was pretty impressive!
its by stephen king/a story about a plague that kills just about everyone and divides the survivors into 2 groups of good and evil..they made a week long tv movie about it,it was pretty dang good for tv..could be just because I loved the book~which is like a 1000 pgs!

Lord of the Rings-great books/great movies (maybe a tad to much singing in the books)
silence of the lambs-great book more detail than the movie but both were great
Misery-loved the book and the followed it pretty good except one little thing I wish they would have left in......[SPOILER - highlight to read]: she chopped his thumbs off
Books are generally better because they cover details in more depth and allow the reader to picture the situations for themselves, rather than whats thrusted in front of them on the screen.
i dont think that ANY book should ever be put into film... reason being they ruin the books .. BUTCHER is a much better word.. every book that ive loved... by clancy and ludlum have been pissed on in my opinion. it isnt right.. maybe what they should do is put them into tv series so that you can see THE ENTIRE BOOK PAGE FOR PAGE unfold not cuttting and pasting what you think is the best parts and add other things... grrrrrr that just pisses me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i like lxg, spider-man, and x2 movie to novelizations. just a shame there isn't one for the last samurai, once upon a time in mexico and some other movies that i can't think of right now.
