I love movies almost as much as I love reading but sometimes I find myself torn between reading the book first or watching the movie first nowadays. Back in the day, movies use to butcher books to the point where the only thing right was the title. Now, IMO since LOTR came out, the movies seem to be leaning more towards keeping the movie as close to book as their budget will allow and in some cases the movie may have turned out better than the book or, as my niece has stated about the Harry Potter books (which are her favorite books), hasn't quite given the books justice either due to too much content in the books themselves or just not enough $$$ to really make it good. Whatever the case, has anyone else seen a movie based on a book that they thought either the book or the movie was better or worse than the other and what was it that separated the two the most in your opinion?
