Read the Book, Hated the Movie

Descripció
Admit it, we all want the movie to be our own special vision of the book. After all we are book people. But, sometimes what were they thinking?

Explicacions
misericordia : Hated the book loved the movie! In a cheesy guilty pleasure sort of way.
aspirit: The book focused more on the psychological consequences of war culture than on specific traumatizing events (potential trauma triggers to readers). The movie glorified violence as it made jokes of the soldiers (both human and alien) who seem unaware they're trapped in the military system.... No thanks.

themulhern: Lots of good actors, but the movie was poorly conceived, while the book is imaginative, mordantly humorous, great.

aspirit : The movie adaptation I saw was excellent. Are we here thinking of different movies?
