While the movie is lovely to look at, the inaccuracies in kimono and hairstyles lost points with me. If you hadn't read the book you missed out on some of the plot lines. I was surprise at how well some of my favorite scene where portrayed in the film, the only problem is so much was left out. Read the book, then enjoy the movie.

The Chronicles of Narina is better because it has so much suspense. the characters are so interesting. Al lot of technology was used in it, there are talking animals for God's sake.\nKingkong is an old story. \n\nwala 2eh ra2yek?

The book is true. Like any book turned into a movie the director or script writer make changes to the story. Sometimes it's leaving out things not considered important or sometimes they sew up loose ends so they can close the story without people expecting a sequel. \n\nSee the section Historical Errors for other changes made to the movie

I would have to say that it is chronicles of narnia..\nI didn't realize when i read it in 5th grade that it was a christian book.  c.s. lewis did a fantastic job.

My question would be movies for entertainment or movies that are based off of books?  \n\nIn several of my classes, my professors would have us read the book or the story and then we would watch the movies in class and contrast and compare.  That's more of a director vs. author argument, though.  However, the justification for showing the movies, too, is that it helps to better the understanding of the cultural perspective (when the book was written vs. when the book takes place vs. when the movie was released).\n\nI hope I didn't confuse you and that I gave you something to think about and maybe even a basis for an argument...\n\nBy the way, what side are you on?

If it's for a book report or something along those lines...skip the movie.  It deviates far too frequently from the book to get a good summary.\n\nTry here for the basics:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misery

Most of the movies get people to read the book.\nI watched IT. then read the book.\nThe stand movie sucked green apples. The book was much better. I have read a lot of books just so I could find out how close they were

The book has so much more just like any book turned into a movie. The movie can never measure up. It is a time thing. If they tried to have it all in the movie they would be 5 hours long.

I am right with you Bohemian. I think the book and the movie are quite overrated, mostly because of the controversy. I read the book and wasn't especially thrilled with it, no the ideas presented, but the actual writing and such. I would suggest anyone read Angels and Demond by Dan Brown for a much better book.

YES i have read Gregor the overlander its the best book ever!! Im waiting for the forth book in the chronicles to come out in may. I don't think it would be a good movie because she describes everything so well that i think the movie would be a let down. Who is your favorite character? Mine is Boots, She is so funny! Oh and i also like Luxa. No i have never read hoot but after seeing the commercial for the movie i think i'll read the book then watch the movie!
