ITT: Adaptations that are better than their source material.
>>70239389
it really is
but, being this a film board, why should you care for the source anyway?
>>70239389
LotR
End your life OP
nuh uh the plastic halloween alien prop was more philosophical!!!
>>70239389
True. Everything wrong with the movie was even worst in the retarded comic book
Game of Thrones
>>70239389
I know all memes are supposed to be shit but this "Zak Snyder isn't a complete retard" one makes Baneposting look like Beethoven.
>>70239818
>even worst
>>70239877
That was my first thought.
>>70239877
What the fuck is going on with this image?
I mean it looks like her torso is bent 90 degrees
American Dubs was better than the book.
>>70239877
Same here
How is it better?
>>70239940
When you aren't fat you can do things like turn your body and breathe with your mouth closed.

Salutation Redditation!
>>70239389
I think Watchmen isn't better, the graphic novel is far more complex especially in the context of it's release in 1986.
The only movie that I've seen that is better then the source is Fight Club. Sure I'll be labeled an edge lord but even chuck palahniuk agrees that it was a better, simpler story in the movie.
>>70239389
Shingeki No Kyojin and Legend of the galactic heroes animes, sorry manga fags.
>>70239956

Personally I think that if an adaptation conveys the same story with the same depth and feeling as the source, it is often better. Brevity ain't easy, and I think an adaptation that is as good as the source, but many hours more succinct is better.
>>70239956
Yah lol, and where are the rest of her chins? Did they photoshop them out?
>>70239389
>picture unrelated
And I love Roald Dahl. Anderson basically turned it into an epic.

>>70240108
I think fight club movie makes a crazy structured book into a nice organized film. But the one thing they fucked up in the movie was the mechanic. He was supposed to drive the car into traffic, and be a somewhat significant background character
>>70240337
Fucking this.
>>70240529
All of them made by Vaugn are.
>>70239672
thank you
>>70240223
i actually liked the 80's tv series. are the movies any good?
>>70239389
fuck, this triggers me hard. 8/10 bait
>>70241062
yes both of them are fantastic action-comedies
considering how most comedies these days fall flat, it's impressive how good 21 and 22 jump street are.
>>70241104
is true, though
>>70241123
>>70240789
Matthew Vaugn's pretty good at adaptations.
>>70240598
Absolutely this.
>>70241195
No it isn't
The Dark Tower
>>70241082
Not even close to a true adaptation.
every Harry Potter flick
sorry
the shining
>>70241215
yup
>>70241324
They're pretty equal, it's the same story, not much changed iirc. But yeah, I guess it's easier/ takes less time to just watch it. Plus, Rosamund Pike.
>>70239938
BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
YES!!!
>>70239389
the squid was dumb
>>70241195For you.
>>70242177
You're dumb
>>70242161
agreed
>>70241363
Better than the old movie, but I woulnd't say it's better than the book.
>>70240467
I can't even imagine how bad the source is if that movie was better
>>70240337
definitely! that comic sucked shit compared to the movie.
>>70239912
are you somehow implying baneposting isnt the beethoven of memes?
>>70242572
More like the Dandy Warhols of memes, in that it's everywhere and you really don't know why.Allyourbaseis the Beethoven of memes
>>70239389
>Le space squid was so dumb xDDDD pls upvote
What's great about this movie is that it uses all of the original Shakespearean dialogue, but just puts it in a modern setting to make it more accessible to kids
That's great in my opinion because Shakespeare is an amazing writer but kids will too readily dismiss him as being historical and boring. But kids love guns. So Shakespeare + guns = win
>>70243002
>from the visionary director of moulan rouge
what happened with him? was he really better than shakespeare?
>>70239389
The only real correct answers I can think of are;
>The Shining
>Fight Club
>The Godfather
And for television;
>Game of Thrones
The last one is not trolling, I honestly think they have improved on the books by cutting stuff like Lady Stonehart and Darkstar.
>>70243174
No, I'm just saying the movie was good because it preserved Shakespeare's proper dialogue, which is what make his plays so great. It would have been so easy to make the dialogue more modern / understandable because obviously his older form of language is confusing for newcomers / people who aren't paying attention. And that would have been a fucking crime. It would have made it pleb tier trash. But no, luhrmann kept the original dialogue but just changed the setting to the modern day, so plebs could understand the play that way, and hopefully then appreciate the beauty of the text
>le elf visiting and pretentious exclamation narration filler
the books fucked around too much
>>70239389
>funeral
>"hello darkness my old friend..."
BRAVO SNYDER
>>70243394
I like Romeo + Juliet but I hate Baz Luhrmann in general. His movies are like meth fueled fever dreams. It feels like my eyes are being raped by color and movement.

The music was the worst part of this film.
>99 Luftballoons starts playing for no reason, then awkwardly fades out 15 seconds later
Never Let Me Go was a shitfest of a film. It was, however, leagues better than the book.
>>70244632
It had a decent soundtrack but whoever decided to look for music to license fucked it all up.
>Rorschach and night owl fly out to confront Adrian in the film's grand finale.
>Jimi Hendrix
>>70244632
99 luftballons was not out of place at all in that film. i thought the music was good. i could have done without the jimi hendrix but other than that it was great.
