And I preferred "Lord of the Rings" to the books to be honest! But mostly, the movies are disappointing. I tend to see the movie first and then read the book as the books usually enhances the book but not vice versa.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-84900161941179695482009-09-21T15:51:13.430-07:002009-09-21T15:51:13.430-07:00Jen-- Thanks for stopping by and sharing your opin...Jen-- Thanks for stopping by and sharing your opinion of A Wrinkle in Time. I haven't seen it and it sounds like I should keep it that way!<br /><br />Margot-- Evil Under the Sun? Yes, that was a stinker!<br /><br />Jeanne-- And here I love The Return of the King. Can you tell I haven't read the last two books yet?<br /><br />Dorte-- And here I always try to have some sort of answer available for everyone! :/<br /><br />Beth-- Yup.

There were a lot of good things about Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies (they got a bunch of young people to read the books), but what he and his screenwriters did to Denethor and Faramir went a long way towards ruining the last movie for me (The Return of the King).Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01374498643286099244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-11712505474680985822009-09-20T15:24:19.497-07:002009-09-20T15:24:19.497-07:00Thanks for sharing those poll results, Cathy!

I think my worst disappointment was the movie version of Agatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun - UGH!

I have always had complaints when it comes to a favorite book being made into a movie. The worst so far? "A Wrinkle In Time" by Madeleine L'Engle. Honestly, that movie should be outlawed! Thanks again for following!<br />~JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.com
