The Hobbit Book Vs Movie
A major downfall of the movies compared to the book is the added characters and storylines. While some of the added storyline help to clarify parts about the battle of five armies, it also serves to muddle up parts of the movie and making them hard to follow, such as the story line about the Necromanser and all the death he is bringing back to reclaim the mountain. Another one of these completely unnecessary use of additional characters and storylines is the love story between Kili and Tauriel. Even the addition of Tauriel’s character into the story of The Hobbit is completely unnecessary. Her love story with Kili doesn’t really serve to enhance the plot of the story, its use is just to lure the audience into a love story.
Another disappointment

    There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, since no description of their faces is given in the book. Also, the film has some genuinely hilarious moments, particularly the scene where Scout is dressed as a ham and walking through the forest. Another good point is that the acting was superb and a treat to watch. Gregory Peck, who played Atticus, was captivating. The film is cast very well. The novel does not give physical descriptions of Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, but the film characters were believable. The actors look like what we would expect them to look like.…

    What I love about the The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (TLWW) is its truly beautiful and enchanting story containing a Christian allegory. The movie falters in those moments where it robs the story of its purity and truth. As a child reading the story, or having it read to you, you are taken from an ordinary world into an extraordinary one. As Lewis wrote in his essay “On Three Ways of Writing for Children” the reader of a story like TLWW “does not despise real woods because he has read of enchanted woods: the reading makes all real woods a little enchanted.”…

    I Am Legend: Book vs Movie

    • 2676 Words
    • 11 Pages

    When one hears the title I Am Legend being mentioned, they usually associate it with Will Smith and the terrific job he did in portraying the protagonist of the story Robert Neville. However, what they typically leave out is the equally terrific job done by author Richard Matheson coming up with the storyline and writing the original book version. While Richard Matheson’s post-apocalyptic science fiction book, I Am Legend, and Francis Lawrence’s post-apocalyptic science fiction movie, I Am Legend, both have similarities and differences, in the end, the original book version prevails mainly because the movie version alters the original storyline too much.…

    Flashback to the summer of 1977, the United States had just celebrated its bi-centennial, Jimmy Carter was in the White house, and the king of rock and roll was in his last days. A bright eyed and bushy tailed young filmmaker named George Lucas was about to launch his newly created project on the world, “Star Wars”. Lucas, not a pedigreed filmmaker by no means, is given the greenlight by 20th century Fox and the budget of 11 million dollars to film his creation. The film was released on Memorial Day weekend of that year, and we all know the rest is history.…

    the road book vs movie

    The Road was both a phenomenal book and film. While reading The Road I was both intrigued and interested as to how Hollywood would portray this story, and after seeing the movie I was impressed with how closely the film followed the book. Though the book was enticing and unusual the movie quickly surpassed the book in my opinion. Though the movie followed the book closely, there were some differences such as the amount of flashbacks the father has, the illusion of hope, and the play out of certain events.…

    Since there are no other female characters Tauriel has to envelop the roles often played by multiple actresses in the same production. The fact that she is the movie “token girl” waters down her character and makes many of her story lines seem over inflated. The Dwarf/Elf romance between Kili and Tauriel is one scenario that seems highly unlikely in the realm of the film. Tauriels character had the potential to be a dynamic and integral part of Bilbos journey but instead she never interacts with him outside of the Mirkwood forest. Bilbo is supposed to be the main character in The Hobbit, so for a character to never even interact with him is really strange. Instead the writers placed her in a forced romantic plotline. There are several reasons why the Kili and Tauriel romance had no place in the series. First of all the pair only have one real conversation, lasting less than five minuets. After this they interact twice more before they are supposedly in love. Kili and Tauriel are both minor characters, neither of which having enough characterization to make their romance seem…

    Twilight: Book vs. Movie

    • 10 Pages

    When comparing the book Twilight, written by Stephanie Meyers, with the movie Twilight, screenplay written by Melissa Rosenberg and produced by Catherine Hardwicke, there are multiple visual differences between the two. Some important scenes were changed or even omitted from the original text, leaving noticeable gaps in the movie’s plot. There are big and important differences, which are obvious, while there are also less important differences between them such as names and small missing details. The most important differences between the book and movie were when Bella tells Edward she knows he is a Vampire and when Edward saves Bella from Tyler’s van in the beginning. In reading the book before seeing the movie the phrase “The book is always better than the movie,” is proven true with Twilight.…

    The Tooks were far different from the Baggins. For one, the Tooks loved adventures, they were always up for one. They weren’t like the Baggins, who were lazy and would rather smoke by the porch. No, the Took family liked and knew how to have fun. But this doesn’t mean they didn’t have manners, or weren’t respected Even though they were respected, they weren’t respected as much as the Baggins. Mainly because; normally, hobbits would be calm and not do adventures. The Tooks were the exact opposite. But, the Tooks however, were undoubtedly richer than the Baggins. But there’s one thing that’s way off, and that’s that they disappeared.…

    In the previous century there have been two major series of fantasy novels; "Lord of the Rings" and more recently "Harry Potter". The genre, fantasy, is very broad, but generally contains one main character, the protagonist, who is fighting for, or against something, often against evil. In both these novels the main protagonist is fighting against evil and endures a kind of adventure and personal growth. As in most fantasy novels, the main characters are in an ulterior world, which is comparable in many ways. I intend to investigate into some of the many comparable components of these two novels.…

    In The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien uses an interspecies friendship, a interclass friendship, and obligatory alliances to bring together the people of Middle Earth and to examine the effect war has on people. Through Legolas’s and Gimli’s unlikely friendship between elves and dwarves, Frodo’s and Sam’s loyal friendship between employer and employee, and the coming together of all the species for the Battle of Five Armies, Tolkien displays how war’s devastating consequences helps people empathize with others and brings them together.…

    The Hobbit is a fantasy novel about a peaceful hobbit that accompanies a wizard and several dwarves on a journey to steal the great treasures of the dragon Smaug and I believe it demonstrates or uses the features of the fantasy genre. The features of any genre are like a skeleton for the story of that particular genre. Different genres have different features such as different settings, characters, plot, themes and values. Features are like a list of criteria that is used to assess whether the novel fits into a genre. The Hobbit is unable to demonstrate the entire features of the fantasy genre but it is still clear that The Hobbit used the features of the fantasy genre as a skeleton.…

    The Hobbit’s plot leaves no stone unturned and leaves nothing to be desired. Tolkien explores all possible aspects of the story that he has created. He has created a whole background to every character and there are definite links between the character’s background and the character’s personality. Every piece of writing has a purpose and there is no confusion as to the topic of the chapter. Every chapter has a new problem to be solved and there is never a…
