We all have our opinions on book-to-cinema adaptions. (I say "cinema" rather than "movie" because some books have adaptations as TV shows, miniseries, musicals, and so on.) This is a very heated discussion, and the general consensus is that the book is always better. Here's my plan for posts over the next few days:
- Book-to-Cinema Adaptations: The Good Ones (3 April 2022)
- Book-to-Cinema Adaptations: The Decent Ones (4 April 2022)
- Controversial Bookish Topic: Book-to-Cinema Adaptations (5 April 2022)
- The Bookish Dilemma: Book-to-Cinema Adaptations (6 April 2022)
Did I plan for this week (4 days, including today) to be focused on book-to-cinema adaptations? Sort of. I knew this was a topic I wanted to talk about, and I finally decided to just make a post about it. And then it just happened that 5 days were dedicated to the topic.
Please remember that all of the posts titled "Book-to-Cinema Adaptations" include opinions that I hold about any cinematic adaptations of books. You don't have to agree with me, but you also don't have to be rude about your disagreement. Additionally, these are not comprehensive lists - just the titles I could think of and have seen.
With all of that out of the way, here are the book-to-cinema adaptations that I think are the decent ones.
Peter Pan (1953)
The Mummy (1999)
The Mummy Returns (2001)
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawntreader (2010)
