Movies or Books?

[Iwaseleanor]

I prefer books to movies, but am curious to see the opinion of everyone

 

[reririx]

I love both but I'll choose books. It's magical for me whenever I read. I visualize everything in my head and get lost in the story. I love movies too but books I can bring with me everywhere. :3

 

[Iwaseleanor]

Yeah I feel like I can immerse myself in books more, and picture it the way I want it. Movies have to be compressed and don't feel the same to me

 

[Xara]

im going with movies because i do much better with actual visuals.

but books usually have much better details, and usually turn out better than movies

 

[Soigne]

I like both equally!

Yes! They add or take things away from the books for some.. really do not like. :c

Books. I do like watching the movies after I read them though. I usually think the book was better, however I liked the BFG book, but enjoyed the movie more.

 

[Hopeless Opus]

books because movies based off books usually never meet the bar that the book sets

If we're talking movies based on the books, then definitely books. Otherwise movies hands down, I'm not much of a reader lately.

It depends on the books and movies that i currently read...

Ehhh i mean books aren't really bad i just don't have patience to read them if its not a project. I watch movies all the time so idk

From the both I'd choose books, but I do prefer watching TV series. I just like long stories that expand greatly, I'm not really too worried about the medium.

i would have to choose movies . when i'm reading a book i envision a movie . i love how you can show the viewer what you want them to see with a camera , and in film you could reveal things that were hidden to the viewer or use music and images where nobody has to talk to stir an emotion . you could do the basically the same with books , but movies generally have a bigger impact on me personally

I enjoy watching movies more than reading books. It's easier to see the movies as you can finish them within a few hours. Reading books takes a while to finish them. But you can use your imagination more for books. As for movies, they are already there.

Movies. I don't have time to sit down and just read a book that's boring.

 

[nintendofan85]

Eh, movies. I like books but I find movies more engaging.

 

[Sunday_Rose]

Depends on my mood, but you can really go in depth into characters and storylines with books. If it was TV shows vs books though, that would be more difficult

 

[00ToxicLove00]

I prefer books mainly because it gives you more information unlike the movie

 

[Miii]

I prefer books because the content is closer to what the author intended it to be. I mean, editors will still change things about the book to make it more appealing to more readers, but movies based on books tend to be really different, and not in a good way.

after my depression set in i had a lot of trouble motivating myself to even read at all, and now i still have a very hard time reading. i can really only read graphic novels.

however, i dont really like movies so much either, but ive been going to more with my friends. i find movies to be a more social experience than reading, so ill pick movie due to my experiences with friends.
