Movie vs. Play

According to me, the movie wasnt as good as the play, since it wasnt as dramatic. Also some of the characters weren't as i had imagined. The delivery of the lines, the props, the costumes, and the expressions were better in my imagination. Yes, at some points it was good, but on a scale of one to ten, i'd give the movie a four. Where as the play would be an eight. And then there is always this theory, that once you read something, the movie is never as good. (well maybe in harry potter's case, its an acception) But anyhow, i think the movie could have been better, with better directing and costumes. Some of the the lines could have been delivered in a different style, and some of the characters behaves/talked in a completely different way than i thought. So, yes, i think reading the play was much better than watching it.

Really? You like the HP movies better than the books?

I agree for the most part with your play. Our imaginations are capable of so much more than what movies can do.
