The movie is better

The ending definitely is, but both have their strengths

It's a hot take but I think almost 90% of film adaptations are better especially if made by an auteur director. Actually seeing a human play the part makes it much a much more emotional and lasting experience than the blur slideshow that goes on in your head

Most of the strong quotes from the movie are so out of place in the book that they lose all of their impact.
The Marilyn Monroe joke is still great tho.

Amazingly, yes.

It honestly depends. The American Psycho adaptation has everything going for it and still misses out on so much from the book both are barely comparable works altogether.
