""No country for old men" reads just like the film. Obviously "American Psycho" would never be made as written in the book. " Agree with Bootsy here. American Psycho, what a prose! | |||

"My favourite book adaptation is Jaws which differs massively. It’s my favourite film of all time. Other favourites are Jurassic park Bourne Identity Green Mile Hunt for Red October The Hannibal films " Yes Jaws has a lot more to it than a shark, also Hunt for red October excellent book, cardinal of the Kremlin is also a good book but never made into a film that I know of. | |||

"RED, most graphic novel adaptions are weak, but the film is a blast of fun and energy, far better than the stark and simplistic source material by Warren Ellis. Kingsman: Secret Service. The graphic novel "Secret Service" by Mark Millar, David Gibbons and Matthew Vaughn, was a great, affectionate, tongue in cheek take on James Bond. The film stands up well with it." What did you think of the watchmen? | |||

"The Lord of the Rings. Difficult, book to adapt because of all the history, exposition and just the immense sense of cultural depth. Peter Jackson and his team did a remarkably good job of preserving the spirit and overall travel of the books. Of course I have quibbles, as a die-hard Tolkien fan, but one always does with adaptations. I recognise the achievement of bringing my favourite book to the screen. " some scenes took my breath away I haven't read the books but enjoyed the films. | |||

""No country for old men" reads just like the film. Obviously "American Psycho" would never be made as written in the book. " Nor should it! As I remember it had a weird narrative or structure too, all that stuff about Bono and various famous people. I never saw the film but always wondered how she went about adapting such a written and also pretty unfilmable experience! pt | |||

"Hello Fabbers. For me as a Bond fan, On Her Majesties Secret Service, why because it follows the book so closely." Well said, that man. Lazenby is much better than has ever been given credit for. In fact, he's physically the closest to the books, and his demeanour is also spot-on with Fleming. "She likes you, I can see it". "You must give me the name of your oculist". | |||

The graphic novel "Secret Service" by Mark Millar, David Gibbons and Matthew Vaughn, was a great, affectionate, tongue in cheek take on James Bond. The film stands up well with it. What did you think of the watchmen?" I think it was a good attempt, and there are excellent parts, but I think they were worried about fans reactions and treated the graphic novel with too much respect. A bit like Pink Floyd who used to do exact replicas of their album tracks in concert. Open it up and let it breathe. But I have friends who think it strayed too far from the source. | |||

Haha I agree that our George is the closest to bond and he is also my favourite, Peter Hunt the films director has a mention from me as well. | |||

I loved the graphic novel, and also the movie which I agree follows some different narratives. | |||
