I think that a book has a better chance of "follow-the-word" representation as a miniseries, rather than a movie. Thinking here especially about "Shogun" by James Clavell, a book I had read and loved, then was very pleasantly surprised by the accuracy of the TV miniseries. Perhaps the time span of a movie just cannot encompass a book ?

How could anyone in their right mind see Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher? Really? Final argument for books and movies as separate entities even when based on each other

Same here, I didn't liked it! I guess I was expecting more!

so many movie that ruined my imagination from the book;
1. Twilight
2. Jack Reacher
3. percy jackson
4. narnia

I liked the Jack Reacher movie. I am a big fan of Tom Cruise. He can pull any movie role off though. Remember Interview with the Vampire, Lestat? he was fantastic.
