Question: Reading books vs movies!?
Who likes to read!? I don't really like movies!. I love to read more!. Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I love reading anything!Even if its non fiction and its about like quantum physics!. But i also love action and comedies for movies!. when it comes to like harry potter and LOTR, i prefer to read them because the movies skip out on alot of details and it feels like im being scammed!. dont get me wrong, the movies are great it jus doesn't have the tid bits that make it funnyWww@QuestionHome@Com

To me the book has far more detail in it, and detail is what I love!. When I watch a movie, I feel like they leave out parts I feel are essential!. But on the other hand most movies are adaptations, not actual reproductions of the book!. I like to use "Willy Wonka" for this comparison because people give me the strangest looks when I say I like the newer movie better!. But it is closer to the book, so I like it better, actually I don't even compare the two!. And in all reality a director can only bring to a movie what they feel is right, they cannot please everybody!. And that usually upsets fans!. But yes, the books are usually by far better!.

i am a huge movie fan and huge with the books!.
i can find a balance between the two!.

my imagination really has no limits, i can imagine things perfectly in my head!. When i write its as if its a movie!. I can imagine the scenery and the people so clear!. So, really i couldnt choose!. but sometimes theres just those days where you prefer to read a book and explore the wonders of your mind!.!. and then you have those days where you want to sit back and relax!.!. eat some popcorn and watch a movie!. i find eating popcorn with books isnt as good, considering the butter on the pages!.!. real annoying!.


also ; to add to!.!. i find if a movie comes out and there is a book about it originally!.!. i will most definately read the book before i see the film!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

-I am a reader!!! Of mostly fiction!. Nonfiction can get dicey!. But oh, how venturing into a world not my own can make my sorrows disappear! The characters in the books I read are my best friends!. (That sounds more pathetic than it is in actuality!.)
-However, I do love movies!. I am constantly going to the theatre!. Although, movies don't give you that feeling of intimacy and belonging that books do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like BOTH reading and watching movies, but I LOVE when the books I read are made into movies because I love seeing the characters brought to life!.!.!.the only thing I hate is if the movies are made NOTHING like the books!. In a way, reading is also better because books have more details!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I love to read and I love to watch movies!.

What do I like more!? That's tough!. There are some books that have wowed me, but there are movies that have wowed me even more (Pan's Labyrinth)!.

They each provide their own merits!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My opinion is to read the book first then see the movie!. Because the movie leaves a lot of things out!. So if you need to have a discussion you will have anwers through the book Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me, it depends on which movie and which book!. I love comedies, so when I have a comedy movie, I would rather watch that then read, otherwise, I love reading!
