I can believe that because the book is more political and that might be boring on film. I'm curious to know because the end seemed rushed instead.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685405404548766935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-33614729125147111032013-07-08T12:58:09.488-04:002013-07-08T12:58:09.488-04:00I really enjoyed this movie.

I thought it was very good except for the abrupt ending like you said (I would have liked to seen the family after they went to the refugee camp). And there were a couple things that I just had to suspend disbelief for but other than those moments I thought it was a good movie and I might get the dvd. I read that the third act of the script was originally different than the final result, I wonder why they changed it and if the original ending would have been different than what we got.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842315793902005771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-86527263780010378122013-07-07T18:07:13.660-04:002013-07-07T18:07:13.660-04:00Not surprisingly I have not read the book and am n...Not surprisingly I have not read the book and am not seeing the movie.

It's too complex and global in nature. But it was a lot of fun for a zombie movie and it managed to keep the essence of the book.<br /><br />If I really really love a book then I don't go see the movie. I feel like I can't unsee it lol If it changes how I saw the character while I was reading then I can't go back to my original image. Most of the time I don't care either way because I don't expect them to follow exactly.<br /><br />I think HP was a good example of successfully following the books closely.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685405404548766935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-89098526048928962612013-07-07T17:33:25.532-04:002013-07-07T17:33:25.532-04:00I haven't read World War Z but it's Tabs f...I haven't read World War Z but it's Tabs favorite book of all time (or at least one of them) so I definitely plan on reading it at some point! It sounds great. I figured from the premise of the book that the movie wouldn't be following it very closely - which sometimes it's nice to see a different spin on a similar idea, other times it's nice to see the book made real before our eyes! I think even the best book to movie adaptations disappoint some readers though - we all imagine things differently, it's part of the beauty of reading, we create the pictures ourselves! <br /><br />I usually go into a movie thinking it will not be like the book and then am pleasantly surprised when it's closer to the book than I figured it would be! :D <br /><br />April @ <a href="http://www.myshelfconfessions.com" rel="nofollow">My Shelf Confessions</a>Fireflywisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17976320685443207152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-52144577392197077782013-07-07T15:03:14.411-04:002013-07-07T15:03:14.411-04:00Sounds fun!
