I totally agree! A Beautiful Mind was an aclaimed movie a couple years ago. I hurried and got the book and read it. Then we went to see the movie. If my husband hadn't been enjoying the movie, I would have walked out. If the movie is 2 dimensional (that is being generous), then the book is 6 dimensional.

I have enjoyed the last couple Harry Potter movies, but they will never be able to make the last book into a movie that works. There were too many simultaneous movies going on in my head.
