Advantages and disadvantages of film adaptation

   Film adaptations have become more and more popular during the current years; most of the films that are available to watch in the cinemas are based on books. The majority of the population believes that is a really good idea to based films on books. However, there are other people who consider that it’s better not to make films from books since they could destroy the idea they have about the book. The advantages of this kind of films could be that, finally, we could really see what we have imagined. Moreover, if it is a famous book, there will be a famous film that could raise millions for the producer companies. It is said that if a film have been based on a book that most of people like, it will be a success, however, it’s not always so simple. The main disadvantage of these films – for the people and for the productions – is that it could become a disaster such as the recently films Shadowhunters: City of bones or Beautiful creatures. The greatest expectations of the people came down when they saw the films (mine too) due to the fact that the characters or the plot wasn’t as good as they had to be, or as the book said. These failures could cost millions for the film companies. Nevertheless, there are other films that are successful and are based on books like The Hunger Games or The Maze Runner. Apart from now, we had to think before watching a film and not judging a film by if it’s based on book or not.

(It doesn’t mean you don’t have to go to the cinema and watch films based on books you’ve read, please, keep doing it! And if you haven’t read the book, I invite you to do it.)

Which is the film based on book that has disappointed you the most?
