Re: Books made into movies yes or no?
that being said there has been a few movies that I have seen where they did a really good job and it was just like how I imagined, the only problem is, the way I imagine it probably isn't how everyone else does, so while I might love it, others might be disappointed and vise versa.
making a movies adaptation is definitely risky business

And I will also say, there has been a time I liked the movie better. A couple actually. We Bought a Zoo was a really fun movie and I like it better than the book, and The Secret of Nimh.

I remembered another one where the movie blows the book out of the water. The Princess Bride. Trust me.

I loved the Harry Potter movie franchise just as much as I love the Harry Potter book series.
But I hate the 1997 Lolita movie even if I appreciate the book by Vladimir Nabokov. I read the book sympathizing Lolita while I watched the movie seeing Lolita in a negative light instead. Did the director purposely create a different Lolita or did he/she honestly see her in that way while reading the book? If this was the movie creators' attempt to make the audience sympathize with Humbert, then it's utterly unnecessary. Vladimir was able to present Humbert as a disturbingly flawed character that the reader can still sympathize as the main character without demonizing Lolita. The movie just straight up made Humbert into a victim and Lolita, a predator. I dunno, might just be me; but that's how I felt when I watched the movie while facepalming so hard.

Ever tried growing oranges from an apple seed? Not very fruitful...
