Why do I have that rule; Why I hate when it happens; Why I prefer to read the book before watching the movie; Why I won't re-watch it.... pick a "Why" please.
Any one why, or all of the why's will do. I can understand enjoying to read something and then seeing it butchered on screen. I have had that happen. I can also understand knowing all of the action that happens on screen by reading it in the book, and it being exactly the same. Which is not totally what you gave for an example, but I can understand your desire in what you said.
You said in your first post that you did not know the show was based on a series of books, and that baised your opinion of the show. I did not know the background of the show, but I did know the characters history and was interested to see how they would handle it. I gave it a chance, and was delighted they were as faithful as they were.
I don't know if I will see it again soon, but in time, I will be delighted to watch it again. There are movies that depart from the storyline of the book, Jurassic Park, for example. Each was good in its own right, but each was different in several ways as well.
So, on its own right, did you like how the movie played out? Have you ever read any mythology in your youth, or seen other shows like Clash of the Titans, or Jason and the Argonaunts(sp)? From your first post, it just seemed you were pre-judging the movie without giving it a chance.
LIke I said before, one of my favortie books was
Sphere, and I was really excited to hear it was coming out. I liked the cast selections and thot it would really be a good show, until I saw it. I could not even finish the show because of how bad it turned out. And I was not alone, it closed in the theater before I could go to see it. But I did give it a chance before I said that. Everyone is due their right to not like a show for personal reasons, but it just seemed you were not giving that show a chance to impress you.
