dont judge a book by its movie

Its been a long time since I've seen a movie that's better than the book.like the movie Eragon they totally went an opposite direction and made it almost impossible to follow up with another. cause in the book there is a guy he cant kill yet he ends up killing in the movie. but if you have watched any of the lord of the rings movies you me see that some movies are better than there book counterparts because the movies are less drawn out. the writer in the lord of the rings is really descriptive but its almost like he talks about one subject too long. i believe that it depends completely on the writer and directors way of doing there job.
