I was referring more to the actual movie itself, if that matters to you

Zero % chance that matters. I like the movie just the way it is. I saw it in IMAX 3D when it came out and was probably the most fun ive ever had in a movie theatre.

Couldn't give a f*** about the book, loved the film.

Most movies don't live up to the books they are based off of.

With that being said, this movie is entertaining and pops.

I HAVE read the book and still enjoyed the movie. Same with World War Z even though as an adaptation it was lacking. But as a zombie movie it was enjoyable.

Juan127 · 03-31-2025, 06:42 PM

I guess no one should enjoy any of the dune movies then

This.

WWZ is a brilliant book, and the movie is nothing like it in all the wrong ways for an adaptation, yet I agree that the movie is still enjoyable. Who knew you can like two different things?

Telemachus · 04-01-2025, 05:34 AM

Reading in 2025? pfft. Sounds toxic.

suspiciouscoffee · 04-01-2025, 07:24 AM

The book is just pages of lists of movies and references the author remembers from his youth. I don't like the movie either but anything is an improvement from such an uninspired source.

AND I didn't even realize who Max Brooks was until like a month ago.

Well then. If you read (<cough> Telemachus), WWZ is such a weird, strange, awesome thing that I'd put it on your short list.

I liked "Fight Club" more than the book. The book completely wimped out in the end.

Stephen King's story The Mist had a better end in the movie too.

Jay Mammoth · 04-01-2025, 06:10 PM

The Mist movie ending was better than the book.

Yeah, I laughed my ass off. It was depressing, and then one hilarious payoff after another after another that had me rolling by the end credits.
It's like "Get it? No? Well, how about THIS? Get the message now? No? Well, then, how about THIS?!" LOLzzzz

Watched it with my sister and she went, "oh my God. Really? Jesus!"
I started to laugh.
Then, both of us were laughing by punchline number three, with the military truck going by - and then seeing the idiot lady

[Show spoiler]

. HAHAHAHAAHAH

Ending of the Mist was awesome. Stephen King said he wished he thought of it.
