"I must be the worst person to ask this question — I always hate films of books, because movies by the necessities of their form change things and leave things out. If I don’t like a book, I’m unlikely to see the movie, and if I do like the book then I almost always think the movie spoils it. The same goes whether it’s a book for children or adults. I think movies should do what they’re good at and stick to original stories, or use short work or plays as their inspirations. The only exception to this is William Goldman’s “The Princess Bride."
