The other side of film dissonance...

Jurassic Park? OK, the dinos were as cool as anything I had imagined from reading the book. Everything else about the movie was just wrong though.

I did get the book and read it before I saw the movie. An interesting adaptation, yes. I still liked both. I suppose for the movie they had to switch the personalities of the kids, since otherwise the critics might have roasted it Still didn't like the 'anti-tech' stance of either.

well, it helped that the girl HAD a personality in the movie... It wasn't really a switch, the boy was spunky and cool in his own way, as opposed to the girl in the book...

I have to admit, MC does NOTHING for me. I mean, he takes a decent premise, but ruins it in the execution. His characters are mostly unlikable, and by the end of one of his books, I just don't care what happens to them. I will speak the ultimate blasphemy - Congo, yes EVEN THAT MOVIE was better than his book. And I'm not just saying that cause it had bruce campbell in it. The movie actually gave me some tiny reason to care if they lived or died. The book really didn't...
