People usually say they read the book first, then watch the film. I can't say I've done either...
However, I watched the Hobbit just now and I haven't read the book...but I'm going to. Also, I've seen the LotR films and I haven't read the books yet. So, I have to vote "Watch the film first..."

How about you, Flood?

Watch the film and don't read...

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

I generally read the book first.

I dont care, but usually book first, but not by choice. I just read books that coincidentally become movies.


Except clockwork orange. I tried reading the book, but all the slang made it unbearable. So i gave up, then found out stanley kubrick made a movie, and watched that

I always end up reading the book before the movie comes out.

The only two good books changed into movies were The Outsiders, and Gaurdians of Ga'Hoole <3

Watch the film.

As the book is always better that way you will never be disappointed.

Listen to the book and read the film

Call me Stu

Don't normally read books then watch the film. I rather just watch the film then feel there's no need to read the books after that.

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

I don't go out of my way to read a novel just so as to watch its film adaption.
