However, if I had come into it without reading the book, I probably would have enjoyed it. It's not a bad movie...it just isn't anything like the book!

I really do have to watch the movie/tv show first before reading the book. I can only think of a few exceptions where I enjoyed the movie and the book about equally and that was The Last Unicorn, the Lord of the Rings, and Silver Bullet,which was based on a short story by Stephen King. I love True Blood and Dexter but I haven't read the books so I have no clue how much they've changed.
I have my own vision for who Richard and Khalan and the TV show isn't even close to matching it.
When I watch Harry Potter I still feel like the actors they picked don't really fit the characters I see in my head.
