Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the The Broke and the Bookish. Every week she posts an idea for a 'Top Ten' list relating to books, and encourages other book bloggers to respond and participate. All the details are listed on her site.
This weeks topic: Top ten best/work book to movie adaptations
Best:
1. Harry Potter movies - this doesn't need any explanation. I love them all :)
2. The Notebook - Read this book a really long time ago, but I still love it and the movie was great! It doesn't hurt that Noah (Ryan Gosling) is a heart-throb!
3. The Hobbit - Watched the movie first and really wanted to read the book. Then I read it and watched the movie again. Just have to say that I love it! Great acting by everyone!
Worst:
1. Twilight - Ugh... I really enjoyed these books, but the acting in the movies is awful! I can't stand Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson...She has no facial expressions whatsoever. They ruined it.. However, I've still watched all of them except the last, which I will eventually see
2. My Sister's Keeper - They changed the ending!!!! It's not just something like a person's hair color or age... they changed the whole ending and it's completely different from the book now! Not nearly as good. I enjoyed the movie right up til the end.
3. The Other Boleyn Girl - I really liked this book and couldn't wait to see the movie. But the movie just left out so much information. I watched it with my boyfriend (who didn't read the book) and he was lost - I had to explain a lot of stuff to him. I understand the book was very long and had a lot of detail, but the movie jumped ahead years at a time without really telling you! Not impressed.
Future Adaptions:
1. The Night Circus - One of my favorite books ever - I hope the movie is as magical as the book!
2. Divergent - Really liked this book and read it in a couple days! Haven't read the second yet, but I have time for that :) Plus I really like Shailene Woodley as an actress!
I haven't read the Night Circus yet but I've heard great things about it. I din't know it was coming out in a movie. Twilight was horrible.
ReplyDeleteI heard rumors that it was going to be a movie, and then I saw someone else post on their TTT that it was going to be, so I included it here. I really hope it will be! I'm curious to see if they can make it as enchanting :)
DeleteYes, Twilight was bad... but for some unknown reason, I continue to watch them! Pretty much have only seen them each once or twice, besides the last, which I haven't seen. I probably will, but will end up regretting it later!
Good list, I love Harry Potter and The NoteBook as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteThe harrypotter books are amazing, and the movies were as good. I have to watch them every few months or so :)
ReplyDeleteI do too! When I had cable, I used to watch them every time they came on! Even though I have all on DVD.. haha
DeleteAww The Notebook - so good! And I never knew they were making The Night Circus into a film. If I'm being honest, I struggled with the book and never really warmed to it but I did love the imagery - I would definitely want to see inside the circus on the big screen!
ReplyDeleteOh, bummer that you didn't like The Night Circus as much! But that's ok! I think if it does come out as a movie, it will still be worth seeing if you didn't get into the book as much
DeleteI loved the HP movies, but enjoyed the LofR movies (a lot) more than Hobbit.
ReplyDeleteI agree, My Sister's Keeper and Twilight were awful, just awful.
And I'm excited about Divergent and The Night Circus too. Well, I have yet to read The Night Circus but from what I've heard it should be amazing.
You should definitely read The Night Circus! I'm hoping to read the LOTR soon! I have them sitting on my shelf, and I've seen the movies because my bf is a huge fan. I've heard good things about how they compare!
DeleteYes, for all the ones I've seen (HP, Notebook, Hobbit, and Twilight) and the ones I want to see (Night Circus, Divergent) you have them exactly where I'd put them. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :) I can't wait to see those two movies when they come out/are made!
DeleteI hope you like Breaking Dawn. I think it was the best out of the (film) series, but yes, the acting leaves much to be desired.
ReplyDeleteNight Circus could be phenomenal as a film!
I agree, Night Circus would be amazing! I probably will like Breaking Dawn - even though the acting is not that great, I still enjoy watching the movies at least once.
