I just watched the beginning of Ready Player One; Nope, they blew it from the get-go.

Movies that were better than the book:

Forrest Gump

Jurassic Park

Fight Club

Of Mice And Men both the 1939 and 1992 versions were better than the book. Any Steinbeck film adaptation is preferable to slogging through his dull prose

The Bounty (1984) was based on the book Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian. It's the best maritime movie of all time.

Speaking of which, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) was based on a 20-book series. Unless you want to drill way down into the lives of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin the film will suffice

I read the entire novel series Master and Commander one book after the other, in their proper order. I recommend that anyone who enjoyed the movie do the same.

The Brando version of The Bounty is good too. I think it's a little more realistic and less dramatized. Hard to say which is better though.

I don't even know how many times I've seen M&C. I really wish the sequel would have panned out.
