excellent

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2010)

I'm just curious and interested in taking a poll here since just about everyone (or at least a lot of people that I know of) keeps on insisting that original written works are "always better" than their actual on-screen adaptions. But, seeing as how this is currently IMDb's #1 rated film of all-time...
As for myself, I have not seen the movie nor read the book, and so I have no opinion on the matter; I'm merely challenging the aforementioned statement based on what other people (who have both read the book and seen the movie adaption) think.
