The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Chocolat (Chocolat #1) in Books
Oct 5, 2020
I loved the movie of this book. Of course, there is always a danger when reading a book before you see the movie that the movie will be a disappointment. And sometimes the opposite is also true. In this case, I have to say that for me, the latter was what happened in my case. You can read why in my review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2013/11/11/tasty-but-not-scrumptious/

Spot on Adaptation to the Book
It took me a while to watch this movie but I was really looking forward to watching it because I read the book and enjoyed it. It is actually funny I only read the book because my mother bought it for her, my sister, and my niece to read it so they could go see the movie. None of them read it though only I did. After finally watching the movie I was very pleased by it almost every scene and line were straight from the novel and each actor did a good job portraying their respective characters. The only things that were missing were narrative type things so I didn't have a big issue with them being left out. However, I would've liked to see more of Wills's friends Jason and Hope because they weren't very important in the movie but in the book essential to the chapters about Will the same can be said about his mother too her story is way more important in the book. But I get why they weren't essential to the movie since it focuses purely on Stella instead of the back and forth between Stella and Will in the novel. All in all, this was a good adaptation of the book and a sweet romance flick. I recommend it.

FELT like the book
The cast was amazing
Details were there, but hinted at
I liked the movie as a whole. Not really "scary" more creepy. One thing though, this movie was much less like the book than the original movie... without any BIG spoilers...
Mild Book to Movie Spoilers:
Changes right off the bat include, obviously the time period, no fort building scene, Georgie's body wasn't found by the sewer, most of the ways the kids first meet IT, they don't say "beep beep Richie"... (aside from once)
There are much bigger changes I can't mention here.
SPOILER END...
All in all, I did really enjoy it! It definitely felt like the book. Better than the original in many ways. I'm looking forward to the second one!

This movie is incredible. Without a doubt the best movie in the X Men universe and a strong contender for the greatest comic book movie of all time. All of the cast are amazing, the way that the plot plays out is incredible and the weight that this movie carries is felt throughout, which isn't an easy thing to capture.
