# I absolutely loved the book!
And finally saw the film a little while back. It was a disappointment if I am honest.

# Hmm.
Thing is, the book will always be superior to the film, so it would be a disappointment.
This is why I don't want ANY of the books that I like to be made into films. Anyone read Altered Carbon?

# This is a truism.
However, I have seen some films which were better than the books. They are very rare though....

Altered Carbon? Nope. Not really a sci-fi fan myself.

# Fair enough.
Which films/books are they? 'course books based on films/tv are almost always drivel. Mmmmm...fan-fiction.

# I am trying to think at the moment :D
Any Stephen King book I have ever read has been wank but I have enjoyed his films....

# I've only watched it once
I just found it so tedious in the middle.

And I haven't seen either of the sequels.

# Well, I wouldn't bother with the third one.
