      In the history of literature and cinema, is there a movie that was BETTER than the book? I'm having a hard time thinking of one. Can you?

      JAWS is roughly seven times better than the book. THE LORD OF THE RINGS movies beat the books (which are also awesome) by half an Orc.

      I could not disagree more about The Lord of the Rings movies, and I’m a fan of the movies.

      Tolkien was a phenomenal world-builder, but he wasn't that great a writer.

      I find the LOTR books extremely hard to follow in their detail in places and lacking emotion in others (e.g., the death of Boromir always seems too hastily played out to me). I re-watched the movies and re-read the books in early lockdown days, and found the movies more rewarding

      There are many things the movies did very well, and Boromir’s story was definitely one of them.

      And there were things the movies screwed up badly, and Faramir’s story was definitely one of them.

      Jackson changed him from a wise brave soldier to the stereotypical whiny younger brother desperately seeking his father’s approval reserved for the eldest son.

          Well, that’s certainly a perspective.

          Too many sentences could be started with "Jackson changed ..." :-) I like the movies but the changes irritated me constantly. When stories and characters are as beloved and well known as LOTR, modifying them requires excellent reason (time constraints, usually). I didn't see it.

          I understand. I loved both versions, but if one were especially attached to the source material, I can see how changes would be vexing.
