I agree with the author about A Wrinkle in Time but vehemently disagree about The Hobbit. What do y‘all think?

Xubst How somebody can bash The Hobbit and then defend Twilight is beyond my grasp. 4y
Texreader @Xubst You are so right! 4y
Bits Totally agree about Prisoner of Azkaban! It's a decent, watchable movie and I absolutely loathe all the other ones. I would add The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe as a spot on movie adaptation, too! 4y

TheBookHippie @Xubst I so agree. 4y
TheBookHippie The Hobbit is a favorite book of mine. I‘ve never seen the movie. I didn‘t want it ruined 🤣😝 4y
Bradleygirl I haven‘t seen all these (or read them all) but will agree with anyone that prisoner of Azkaban was the best thing they ever put on screen in the Harry Potter universe. Also that the Hobbit had no business being made into one Peter Jackson movie, much less three 🙃 They need a subcategory for the movies that were better than their books – I nominate A Room with a View and Stardust!
