I haven't read the book, but for the film to pale in comparasison to it, it must be one of the very best novels in history.

Anywa, 7/10. Populist trolling is the only trolling that almost gets to me.

>> No.1271806

Yeah, I'll agree with 7/10. This is a good troll thread.

Artisically, Kubrick is so much more talented than Clarke it's not even funny. He took a mediocre book that had a good idea in it, gutted out the good idea from the terrible dialogue and awful storytelling, and made one of the best movies of all time.

The book was written as an adaptation of the screenplay.

It's a good book.
Even better are the other books in the series, my favorite being the last.

Never Let Me Go.

There was so many things wrong with the film. They cut out all the minor scenes that gave meaning to the major scenes in the movie so nothing makes sense.

Like the fact that they never mentioned Norfolk so when the ending happened at Kathy was standing at the fence, she out of nowhere says that she imagines that everything she'd lost would appear there. It ends up looking really cheesy and stupid.

And don't get me started on how ugly Keira Knightly was and how badly they butchered Ruth's relationship with Kathy in order to make the plot follow a standard romance story.

fucking amazing book made into an absolute shit movie.

Harry Potter number 4

I stopped caring about the movies after that one

The Hours

The dialogue in the book doesn't translate well into a movie and the film had no sense of building up to an expression of emotion.

Not Books but Watchmen and Whiteout were horrible films that didn't get the comic at all.

I just pretend that the new movie is a satirization of Oscar Wilde's work.

THIS
They could've done so much with the story, characters and ideas, but it just became a 19th Century action movie, which is never good.
