A lot of times Movies are very different from the original Books, so one should really should read the Book first, DEFINITELY!!! in my opinion. Do you think so?

Yes, I agree with that!! The book's are always better than the movies. For example, Harry Potter, it is one of the most popular series in the world, but they totally screwed up the movies! :roll:

Most assurably watch the movies first! trust me. If you are definately going to see both, movie before book cuz you will be always disapointed with the movie after the book, whereas if you watch first, you get that in your head, especially if they choose good actors. then the book you are estatic over how better it was. Which would you feel, mad that the movie sucked, or hyped becuase the book kicked the movies arse so bad!!! :3

Book before movie cause if you watch the movie before reading the book its not the same cause you know whats gonna happen and it spoils it

I say movie before book because when I read the book I have an idea on how the places, characters, and actions look like. I also get an idea on how the story will go.

read the book first, because there is often so much more info in the book. then watch the movie, and reread the book!

I think read the book first, because then you can form your own ideas of what the characters and scenes look like without someone telling you what it looks like.

I say watch the movie first, if you can.
It helps me picture the action more clearly when I can put a definate face (say, Nicholas Cage) to a character (say, Corpral Enders). Windtalkers is actually a better movie then book in my opinion.
The Sight, however, is probably going to be a better book than movie. It's hard to tell though, because we haven't heard much about the movie. All I have to say about that is the producers better darn well stick to what David Clement Davis wrote!

Doesn't really matter what came first.

Must read the book first so you can enjoy picturing the charecters and there voices in your head, the way you want them to look and sound. And you can picture the sceans and backgounds and even put yourself there as one of the charecters in the book!

Then you can watch the movie and see how others picture it and enjoy the music and the charecters, backgounds ect.. the way they were ment to be! :lol:

I voted Book first, then movie, because thats the best way to go!

True... you do get to put things the way you imagine them in your head, and then the book is more enjoyable. Well if you read the book first, you also understand the movie better.

Book is allways better than movies. Now everyone have their tastes. Usualy you will get disapointed about the movie after reading the book. And the book is much more detailed

I don't care,but I hope they will not ruin books by making bad movies.
