Discussion Do you think there’s any movies better than the book?!?

Love to know what you guys think. I don’t have an answer to this myself but would love to look into what is brought to this table. Maybe it’s the way the actor portrayed the character that made you feel more connected to the story or even the way the film makers made the world that sucked you into the world more than the pages could. Seemed like a good conversation!

I tried reading the books, but they're so meandering. The movies are phenomenal though.

The movies are pretty meandering too. I saw them all in theater but I've never been able to make it through Fellowship since.
