Hunger games movies are supposedly a lot better than the books.
There are some books where it’s impossible to make a movie that’s better. The Exorcist is an example, the book really goes down the rabbit hole and not fully translatable to the screen.

Yes. Legally Blond is better than the book.

Easily. But just making a good movie in general seems to be a challenge these days, whether the source material is a book or not.

Fire Starter and The Dead Zone are two Steephen King movies that were better than the books.

No. Far more detail in a book and there's probably only a handful of movies that truly stuck to the book to begin with.

The Mist as a whole was not better but the ending blew the book's out of the water

The Shawshank Redemption as a movie was better.

Silence Of The Lambs...
the book is really good, but the movie is fantastic.

The Hunger Games.
I read all the books for some reason, they’re awful, definition of someone who has a good idea but doesn’t know how to execute it. She writes like a 12yr old.
The movies are better because they’re only a few hours long so it’s over quicker

Jurassic Park was better than the book because of what it put on the big screen.

"the princess bride" is 10x better as a movie than the book was, and i love the book

I've never seen the book. Is it good?
Posted on 9/6/23 at 9:00 pm to KCSilverTiger
The first one that comes to mind, is as close as I’ve seen, “No Country for Old Men”. Still not better than the book, but dang it was good.

Heck yes. The Graduate was a terrible, poorly written novel which I stopped reading after the first several chapters. It was so bad. The movie turned out to be legendary.
