Books better than Movies

Okay my dudes, please don’t fly at me for this but I am goofing to lay it down.....books are better than their movie adaptations for the following reasons. The biggest reason, is a book may take you months to read, allowing for a deep connection with the setting and characters. Seeing all of that squashed up into a 2 hour film will make you cringe and think “wow, that’s it?”.  Second, your imagination isn’t allowed to fly where it wants. In a book, you imagine the characters and setting of the book through your perception of the authors words but when it’s actually in front of you and opposes your depiction of it all, it kind of sets things off. For example, the book It, I imagined a horrifying creature and was scared to read one more page but as for the new movie, I was not scared at all and I felt it wasn’t faithful to the book. Another thing, if you’re gonna change some things around, at least make it good so you can’t predict what’s going to happen. Too many changes will distort the plot and make it seem like another story. I personally enjoy the minor changes, what about you guys? Also, do you guys don’t beat me up with opinion based 2018 comments, do you guys think books or their movie counterparts are better?
