Books v.s. Movies

In my experience as a reader, books that are adapted to movies are never as good on the big screen as they are in binding. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but since this IS my blog, I'm gonna share my own opinion. In all honesty, it sometimes really just depends on the book. For instance, if the plot was good but author was terrible, I may prefer the movie, simply because the written quality of the book was unmentionable. This is all hypothetical of course, but it could happen. However, some books should just stay books. For example Twilight by Stephanie Meyer. I loved the books. The chemistry between Edward and Bella was perfect... in the books! When I saw the movies, I was crushed because the movies were not what I had envisioned. They were good movies but I was so disappointed. Even if both the movie and the book are great, most of the time, things in movies change. I really hate when little things are left out of movies when those things are so pivotal and crucial in books. Like Divergent, or The Hunger Games! (Two of my favorite book and movie series!) Little things were left out and it just breaks my heart! I think I can hear my books crying now! Okayyy, so I may be exaggerating a little bit but forreal! I don't know. Now that I am actually realllyyy thinking about this, I kinda like being able to imagine my characters and settings in my head. When I read, I have this little movie playing in my head of everything that's going on. Maybe that's just me. For more about Books V.S. Movies, click here!
