How do you react to movies made of your favourite books (or even not-so-favourite books)? Do you look forward to seeing them, or avoid them? Do you like to have read the book before seeing the movie?
I don’t generally cringe in pain when I hear that a book I like is being turned into a movie. Some of them can be quite good if done right with the right actors/actresses, with the story kept somewhat in tact and true to the book. I give every book-to-movie adaptation the benefit of the doubt…
Until information comes out such as cast and trailers start to be played. Once I get a sense of how the movie is going to be, I either look forward to it or dread it. Some, like the Queen of the Damned (Anne Rice) adaptation were pure travesties, where as other adaptations like Cold Mountain are very good.
