Why did YOU hate World War Z?

[Peteyandjia]

Congo was much worse. They destroyed one of my favorite fiction novels. At least brad Pitt is in this

I love Congo the book, I have no interest in watching that movie. Can tell it looks shitty.

Same with Sphere, even though some people have told me the movie is good, I'm not interested because the book was too damn great.

Besides Jurassic park, they murder all of Crichton's material.

Sphere(novel) was so good! It's a damn shame the movie was such a turd.

Rising Sun is a good movie. It's not as great as the book, but it's a good movie.

I totally forgot about that movie. Yeah, it was pretty decent, but I never read the book. Not my style of fiction.

 

[FyrFytr998]

Didn't read the book. So I was fine with it.

Sphere, the book, is probably my favorite Crichton book. He is super hit and miss with me. He is like the Queen of authors, sometimes he writes Bohemian Rhapsody and sometimes he makes the odd decision to write Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

If you enjoy Crichton's style, it might be worth the read. He goes deeper & darker than the movie lets on, as he tends to do.

lol that's true. Though I will say it is his later novels that were dogshit. Prey was really bad, even with it having such a good premise

He is my go to airplane book. I can usually finish one book on a round trip flight. I swear you can tell if its going to be a good or bad book within about 10 minutes.

I will have to give it a go then. It doesn't have any kind of horro/Sci-if aspects to it though, right?

My mom bought me an omnibus with Eaters of the dead, Congo, and Sphere in it, and I have been a fan ever sense.

HiS last three novels were terrible.

Prey was absolute shit.
The best part of.that novel was the speech he delivered and cited at the beginning

Sphere....the first 98 percent was phenomenal....I hated how it ended....I loved how it was open ended though

My problem with all of Crichton books are the ending.

 

[Michaelangelo]

I didn't hate it but I wouldn't watch it twice

The ending was great imo. Giving up ultimate, but uncontrollable, power

 

[neverwas]

loved the female soldier who had her hand cut off. enjoyed the film,despite some obvious product placement.

 

[HARRISON_3]

I loved it. Saw it when it came out in the theater, then recently rewatched it a few months ago. Great movie.

Fun Fact: I once randomly talked with Bas Rutten (it was right after this came out) and we talked about how awesome this movie was & shared what our favorite scenes were

Literally none of that happened.

Westworld.

I fapped to the movie as a young boy

 

[Rav1nHunter]

Great Zombie movie and if I hadn't read the book it wouldn't bother me but the book is a million time better.
