The films are mildly distracting where the books are engrossing, despite being appallingly written. [I'm currently reading the first one out loud for the enjoyment of another and am grateful for the easy vocab. and simple structure. I read the trilogy ages ago and am enjoying listening in to the story as well as reading it].

I really don't know what it is about the HG films that have meant I've not warmed to them. Not so sure if it's just Lawrence in the lead role that spoils it for me. It was the same with the Thomas Harris books vs the film versions. The films never lived up to expectations having read and thoroughly enjoyed the books long before.

Anyone else have this issue with films of books they've enjoyed prior to seeing the films?

I've been thinking about your question and, more often than not, I don't have a problem with book-to-film transfers.... 84 Charring Cross Road, Silence of the Lambs, Waiting To Exhale, Goodfellas, Devil in a Blue Dress, Long Days Journey Into Night, Street Car Named Desire ... all are books (or plays) I read and liked before seeing the film. Granted, I dont read nearly as much as I used to, but I would expect the same reaction these days.

My biggest beef is bad remakes. "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3" comes to mind.
