True.Hell,I would watch a 6hr movie if it is made.But the budget would be too large to handle.

5 and 6 weren't great, but I really would recommend the last two. They really, really tried to stick to the books like they should've done all along. Those two are definitely worth seeing.





they did kill The Mists of Avalon didn't they

It seems, by all accounts, that Deathly Hollows (together) was really really good. I might watch them on day.
Oh, I've been wondering... did they happen to show the epilogue as well?

So I think I'll give the movies a miss and stay with the book. Or I'll watch them to compare, like I did with LOTR


The movies are fun to watch,and have the broad essence of the story told in the books, but they cannot portray every aspect of the book,without losing some vital aspect,that some readers found valuable to their enjoyment of the book.

even if the movie were four hours long, you would never feel like you were there, like you do with the books.
Books always.


agreed


same i dont like the movies the books are waaaaaaay better.
I can't believe that's even an issue. BOOKS ALL THE WAY!

“I love books, by the way, way more than movies. Movies tell you what to think. A good book lets you choose a few thoughts for yourself. Movies show you the pink house. A good book tells you there's a pink house and lets you paint some of the finishing touches, maybe choose the roof style,park your own car out front. My imagination has always topped anything a movie could come up with. Case in point, those darned Harry Potter movies. That was so not what that part-Veela-chick, Fleur Delacour, looked like.”
― Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever: The Fever Series


That being said, I'd say it's a mixed bag with the ones that I did read the book for. The books are intersting in that I got to learn more in the way of details and character motivation, and the movies definitely cut things that would have been "good to know." But all in all, I did like the movies too.
