Re: Book Or Movie First
Elendur

To Eonwe: You said a movie is almost always best the first time you see it(and I agree), but I don't think that's the same as knowing what's going to happen. The movies were not any worse for having read the books. Let me clarify:

Books: Almost as good reread. Not as good if you saw the movie first.

Movies: Not as good rewatched. BETTER if you read the books first.

See what I mean? You're right about the movies being worse the second time, but they're better if you read the books first.

Just my opinion(of course)
