Honestly? Gotta disagree. It’s been a long time since I’ve read the book but I remember being disappointed by it after seeing the movie. Maybe I’ll give it a reread and see if my opinion’s changed. ETA: fuck all the movie sequels though, no one needed that shit.
I have no idea what would’ve happened to me if I had done it in that order, but, unfortunately, for me, I read the book 1st, and based my expectations for the movie around that, rather than the other way around.
So, I’m not trying to discount your experience, I just don’t think it’s the same thing because of the order. Who knows? If I’d’ve seen the movie first, I might agree with you.
