Re: Inspired by #2

I think it depends on the movie. I liked LotR, but The Hobbit grew progressively worse as the trilogy went on. As I said on the Jurassic World thread, I didn't have a problem with Jurassic Park, but I do retain a grudge against Sphere for changing what I see as the core of the story.

I idly recall the miniseries for "The Mists of Avalon" and that I felt it cut a lot out of it as well while I thought the "Children of Dune" miniseries was good, but I read the books after I'd seen it, so maybe my view is a bit skewed.

I like the first two Chronicles of Narnia movies, but not really "Voyage of the Dawn Treader". However it's mostly not because of the differences to the book that I dislike it, but because they didn't keep Caspian's accent. Silly I know but I feel they cut a connection to "Prince Caspian" by dropping it.

On a whole, I feel I am more likely to dislike a movie if I read the book first, but it's not guaranteed. I am more likely to be forgiving of the movie if I read the book afterwards.

the movie version of Dawn Treader drove me nuts because the changed so much from the book, which I love. They also left my favorite part of the book of Prince Caspian out of the movie (the romp with Lucy and Susan and Bacchus and all those wild women liberating everybody).

I think with Dawn Treader, I understood why the changes happened - the book was not much more than a series of random events with very little over-arching plot and they were trying to give it an over-arching plot.

I also think seeing the Bacchus and maenads onscreen would have been interesting, as well as the surrounding plot of them going around freeing people from their terrible lives.
