Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

Stephen King is to writing what George Lucas is to movie making. There's some serious creativity there, but the craftsmanship sucks.

2nd on The Dark Tower! What the fuck was that?

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

I thought Carrie and The Shining were classic films and most critics agree.

IT and remake
The Shining and remake
The Stand and especially remake
Remake of Salem's Lot
11.22.63

All by Stephen King.

I'm not saying that these were horrible movies. I am only saying that in my opinion, the books were so much better.
Most books, no matter who wrote them, are so much better.

A better subject would be, Books that stink compared to their movie adaptations.

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

Anthony Hopkins.

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

You know I liked that old Stand miniseries. All except that stupid God hand at the end. A lot of the essence of the book was captured in that series. Of course you can never get everything of that is 1200 page monstrosity into film.

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

Aside from Molly Ringworm as Fran, the 90s miniseries wasn't terrible. I actually thought it was fairly decent.
Yes, I realize that you can't possibly fit a 1200 page book into a film, so in view of the topic of this thread, while the film didn't exactly stink, compared to the book? In my opinion, it wasn't as good as the book.

Same with 11.22.63
While the miniseries wasn't bad, the book was better. In fact, Sadie, a character in that book/movie said the same thing…. 'The book is always better".

The Walking Dead stinks as an tellivision show.

But the book Is a masterpeace.

Intellectually superior In every way.

Something I was able to really sink My teeth Into.

Not a lot of taste but very filling.

I hope My food stamps come soon.

I look forward to My next Turkey tv dinner and some youtube with Great anticipation.

I'll use the remaining pages to floss My butt.

I'll need to cut back on Late night snacks.

But It'll be worth It.

The only poster to have his account banned 4 times and Never cry about it once.

You mean the comic book? A few weeks ago I was bored and wanted to see what the hype for it was, so I checked it out for the first time with no intent to read beyond the first issue. 3 days later I had read all 194 issues and agree it was a masterpiece (until the last act, which was terrible and poorly executed.) It was probably the greatest thing I have read in the last 20 years. Not sure why the TV show didn't follow it more closely. Big fail there.

On the Road (2012). Some books just are not meant to be filmed.

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

This is probably the best example

I dunno, Lizzy…Great Expectations?
Frankenstein, Romeo and Juliet.

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

Every version of Great Expectations I have seen was worse than the book, but that's understandable since GE is probably the greatest book ever written. I did see one old version of the movie I liked up to a certain point, but it dragged and diverted from the book too much in the last half.

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

I agree it was a pretty good story. It kept me interested long enough to complete the assignments.

The lost world: Jurassic Park.

Re: Movies that stink compared to the book

I haven't read the book, but Great Gatsby the movie was terrible even with Leonardo Dicaprio.
