Movies That Were Better Than Their Source Material


Movies often change and cut out alot of things from the book/comic/game it was based off. But every so often you get a movie that is way better than the original.

I think Men In Black is a good example, the comics were okay. But considering there were only six issues it didn't get a chance to fully explore everything.

Forrest Gump is more realistic than the book and alot more memorable

The Crow, the comic was kind of lame.

Transformers, it's fifty/fifty with the fans but I think it was an excellent update of the series.

What other movies were better than their source?

I was gonna saw Cujo, but the only thing in the book that bugged me was how much time King spent on the wife's affair. I really liked how the book dug deeper into Tad's fear of the "monster" in the closet, and I really didn't like movie Tad compared to book Tad.

Something tells me the people of Earth are gonna need me.
