Action!
Everyone has most likely heard someone say, "Wow the book was so much better than the movie". Very little has anyone said the opposite. I think it is pointless to create a movie that excludes so many great events in a book. So I have come up with this idea: why not make a more lengthy movie or cut it into parts rather than only plucking the significant parts from the book. I for one was really sad when the Harry Potter series ended but that just proves that if all of those Harry Potter movies were split into parts, it would have given a lot more for people to look forward to (even if there had to be 16 movies). Also, I don't know about anyone else, but I wouldn't mind sitting through a 6 hour movie, as long as there was an intermission. The length would just benefit the action and quality of the movie!
Let's Play Pretend.
Ha. I was just thinking the same thing the other day. I hate when movies are made that only include the "important" parts of the book and all the parts that have importance too and give the book depth are taken out.
