I agree with you Stirlo :2tsup:
The lastest movie would be almost impossible to follow whats going on if you havent read the book.
I know they need to condense the story, and due to that a little poetic license is taken with the plot. But with this latest one they have taken the longest book and made the shortest movie :? .
I saw an interview with one of the actors who plays one of the major characters...in this interview he said, he had never read the books and never intended too. The intererview was for one of the earlier movies...but IMHO it reflects the way he has potrayed that character in all the movies of this series he has been in. Im not sayin he's a bad actor...he just does'nt play the character as he appears in the book (IMO :rolleyes: ). I think this illustrates why (in this case anyway)the books differ so much from the movies. They are made buy people who really are'nt die hard fans of the books...its just a job..... and in doing that job they inject they're own personality and sometimes egotisical visions of how something should be done.
These people pretty much know they have a license to print money with this franchise so staying absolutely true to the story probably is'nt on the list of priorities...which IMHO is letting the fans of the books down, just a little bit :( the fans are after all are the ones who pay to go see these movies.
I also disagree that movies made from books are never as good as the books... IMHO the movie "Fight Club" was way better than the book. So it can be done :U
Regardless of what some of the the grumpy old buggers around here say...the Harry Potter series will be considered a classic, once all the young fans grow up to be income spending adults :;
cheers
BD:2tsup:
The movie "Three Days of the Condor" (spy stuff, Robert Redford et al. about 35 years ago) was based on the book "Six Days of the Condor." Would have been difficult to compress the 6 days' adventure into the shorter attention span available to movie viewers. I thought it was faithful enough, and at least they had the decency to change the title.
