Re: Have you ever liked a movie/tv show better then the book it's based on?

I gave up on Lord of the Rings when Elrond started droning off a five page legend during the council. Yes, world-building is good, but a sense of urgency? Anyone?

[(Anonymous)]

A good 70% of the time at least, Tolkien seemed obviously more interested in showing off his language skills and massive worldbuilding than he was about actually telling a logical story. Most of the characters are apt to go on long ten hour speeches about something not remotely relevant, just so Tolkien could work it all in there.

(and I am a LOTR fan, honest)

I agree that the pacing of the books is a bit... stop and start. The movie paced better, making the start of the story (like, about the first half of FotR) not so slow and languid as the book.

Though I did manage to get through the Council of Elrond, though I view it as very much an all-day affair, with people giving long, involved tales from multiple POVs.

On the other hand, I do feel the book gives more idea of how slow a journey across vast distances, on foot, would end up feeling. For the Fellowship, there would be parts of the journey that felt slow and non-urgent, despite what they logically know.
