Books are always better then the movie.
Plain and simple.
In your mind you can make the perfect scenarios. The perfect people saying exactly what the author writes and picturing your own perfect settings for all the characters to fluidly interact with.
And then the movie comes in, and it doesn't pair up to your fantasy.
It's never going to add up to your own fantasy. Your fantasy is always going to be better to you specifically, then anybody else's interpretation.
Especially after you've put countless of hours and all of your emotional attachment to this one character and then a director casts an imperfect actor to play the part of your beloved antagonist.
Also that's all a movie is. A movie is an interpretation and condensed version of a novel. If the screen writer put all the internal dialogue and detail that a novelist can put into hundreds of pages. First of all that would be such a long movie and you would get extremely bored. Secondly if a screen writer could actually do that in a 2 hour and 30 minutes time period i applaud them.
But what really erks me is when people say the movie wasn't exactly like the book. Of course it wasn't exactly like the book. that's absolutely impossible if they want to make a profit. People need to understand this when they watch a movie. It is a completely different medium and interpretation and you shouldn't let that ruin the fact that it was a good movie in it's self. Or a completely shit movie depending on what your watching.
