Any visual media that you've seen after you've read the source book. A better way to look at it. It is which movie was better or as good than its book.
Jurassic Park was a better movie than the book. The Martian the movie was as good as the book.
Fight Club. I actually enjoyed the dumbass movie doesn't-work-that-way ending more than the mental break of the main character in the book.
The first time I read it, I didn't even understand it and thought he literally met god.
I got this.
Ready Player One.
The movie was a pretty entertaining Sci film that took the overall concept/plot of the book and then did its thing.
The book was like a Sci fi incel fan fiction. Like an incel white night wet dream.
Reading the book first had me almost skip ever seeing the movie, but the movie wasn't nearly so cringe.
Uh, the movie made some serious mistakes, namely having them decide to shut down the Oasis 2 days per week, at the end? Where the hell did that come from? There are in-universe people who rely on the Oasis for their livelihoods and self-worth. Fuck 'em, right? And also the main characters are not a "clan" and having Z affirm they were a clan to Og was a middle finger to the book's whole spiel on not being a clan.
Well I just said the book sucked of incel love fest wet dreams, but you do you.
I think all Hunger Games films worked better than the books
