Sorry, that should have plural. I saw the one were Anikin Skywalker was a little kid and it was meh but it totally turned me off the idea of watching any other Star Wars movie.
Watch the original three. Ignore the prequels.
No one should ever watch episodes 1-3. We should all just pretend they don't exist.
Lord of the Rings the movies > Lord of the Rings the books
Um, no. You must be missinformed.
However Divergent the movie > Divergent the book
Uggghhhh Divergent the movie was boring and awful. Book was much better. I didn't even see the second movie because the first was so bland and flat.
Not that the book trilogy was anything especially great, aggiebug. But I thought it'd translate decently well to a movie and then it didn't. Guess it's hard moving that much teen violence on screen, though Hunger Games managed to do it alright.
However hundreds of pages of boring in LOTR books becomes gorgeous panoramas of New Zealand landscape in the movies. Winning.
@alyllyra love tit for LOTR, I haven't read Divergent series yet.
Just don't. Book one is good books 2&3 made me want to stab my eyes out. Ok I maybe exaggerated a teensy bit, but yeah not a fan.
Yeah, neither the book nor the movie was that good. But movie was better!
Re: LOTR Intricate back story and awesome character development turned into 3x3 hours of fighting. Books were better. I will, however, give you the NZ landscapes. And Sean Bean.
I love fantasy movies and shows (LOTR and Game Of Thrones). I can not for the life of me read those. I need fantasy things that have some sort of basis in my time/or place-- I love the Harry Potters, and Hunger Games. (Both of which translated very well to movies)
taberbtb I strongly encourage people to read Harry Potter even if you aren't into magic as they are a series that crosses genre lines imo. There is a very good reason they are instant classics. Borrow the first 2 or 3 to read (they get much better after book 2 imo) and if you don't like them then ok. I have pushed a few friends to read them and they were glad they did. Not saying they loved them, but appreciated and enjoyed them yes. I rarely push books because no one book is for everyone, but these should at least be tasted by everyone.
LOTR are too verbose for me, on a subject that I appreciate but am just not *that* interested in. At one point I had them as a goal to read, but I just can't justify spending my time reading books I can't seem to enjoy. I appreciate them for what they are and why others love them. Just not for me.
(I could also read all 7 Harry potter books before I could read on LOTR)
Edit to fix tag. I always want your an to be tater not taber lol.

aggiebug, AMEN to reading the Harry's before LOTR. I tried, more than once, to do LOTR. I just can't. I was better listening to the Game Of Thrones ones, but even those got harder. Now Harrys -- I can read, listen or watch the movies and be happy.
Star wars. Lord of the rings. Harry potter. That vampire shit. Hate them all! Lol
I have never read the books or seen the movies for Harry Potter or LOTR and have no desire to. Vampires? I can take it or leave it.
I probably should have qualified that statement by saying I've never seen or read any of them. I'm much to busy with my historical romance novels to bother with such crap lol

mmm I love historical romance. I stand by my statement that you should try Harry Potter. Lets just put it this way, it seem so incredibly weird for it to be categorized with LOTR, Game of Thrones or that Vampire shit. The last 3 are such niche market classics. From a synopsis stand point I can see why it is lumped together, but HP is just not a magic book or a kids book. If you try and don't like them fine!
What is funny is I adore Harry Potter, but I am by no means a super fan and here I sit defending them .
