I don't share this opinion. I was never able to get into the movies. Everything I like in the book was gone and I have little appreciation for the visual elements that the movies did well.

Seriously, I enjoy both for different reasons, but the original book is far superior.

Seriously, I enjoy both for different reasons, but the original book is far superior. I envy people who enjoy the movies. I love not only the book but also many elements of the story and would be happy to see even a wild very unfaithful (in some ways) adaptation. That I don't enjoy the movies much is not an indictment of those who do or the work that went into them. |

Movies always have to leave some things out or combine characters or do other things because of time constraints. |

Movies always have to leave some things out or combine characters or do other things because of time constraints. Plus it's a different medium. Even being very faithful to the plot does not guarantee a good movie! The makers have to do the work of really adapting it to the medium, not just cutting and adding dialogue. |

Right on, hengest. Different mediums require different approaches. You hit the nail right on the head. |
