Which is better, the manga, book, or movie?

I've read some of the manga and a little of the book and I've seen the movie.  I think the book went into the most detail about all the characters.  As far as which was done best, I'm leaning towards the manga just because the art is pretty good.  The visuals from the manga add dimension to the situations in the book.

YESYESYESYES!!!\n\n\nIt has been a few years since I read the books, but I think that it was one of the most faithful book-gone-movie movies that i have ever seen.

While the movie is lovely to look at, the inaccuracies in kimono and hairstyles lost points with me. If you hadn't read the book you missed out on some of the plot lines. I was surprise at how well some of my favorite scene where portrayed in the film, the only problem is so much was left out. Read the book, then enjoy the movie.

I think that Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire was better than The Prisoner of Azkaban. But thats only My opinion!!!

Rave Master is action-packed(cool scenes) and funny.I feel that the show is better(in terms of art) than the manga.\nFruits Basket is more sentimental and also has an original storyline,and nice to read.Great Art as well.\nYou should check them out :)

Major Differences that I noticed...\n\n-Hatsumomo's departure. In the book, she went nuts on a client. In the movie, she burned the okiya. I actually wish they would've stuck to the book on this, because I think that scene would've been better. \n\n-The mizuage scene. They go into detail in the book, but I understand that it probably was not as appropriate to turn that into a movie scene.\n\n-When Sayuri goes to the cherry blossom festival and gets the kimono from the Baron, the scene where she is talking to Mr Bekku and he had to help her redo the kimono on the train was absent from the movie.\n\n-A lot of the history is also missing. A lot of Chiyo's childhood is missing, as is the entire part of the book where Chiyo told by Mameha that she needed to consult her horoscope (on the night she tried to escape, she had an ominous fortune about falling).\n\n-There is a lot missing about Chiyo's actual transformation into Sayuri/a geisha. I wish they would have included that, because it really goes into how difficult it was to be a maiko. \n\n-The entire ending is different. The Chairman does become Sayuri's danna, and she moves to NYC and opens a teahouse for businessmen because the Chairman's daughter is getting married, and she does not want to make the Chairman look bad. \n\nWikipedia also has an article discussing other differences between the book and the movie, which can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoirs_of_a_Geisha_%28film%29

Yes to both. The books are better.  The 2nd and 3rd movies were nothing like the books.

I saw it. And I liked it very much.\n\nThe movie was a very good representation of the book.\n\nBooks always have more background and more details.\n\nSome things were changed or deleted, to keep\nthe story moving, but all-in-all my wife and\nI thought the movie exceeded the expectations\nwe had about what the movie could have been.\n\nBravo!!

Movie Based on book:- It seems an easy thing to do, but most of us have different impressions on any given book. The movie version is what the Director perceives as the definition of the book. A book can hold ten times more information. So making the movie, most of the book is lost.\nThe best way, in my opinion, to make the movie is to allow the book Author to write the screenplay.\n\nSequels:- When they first started to appear (1980's) they where mainly a money making devise to line the pockets of the movie companies, with no thought to quality. Now, they are as much big business but the quality is highly improved.\n\nRemakes:- Cashing in on old classics, just like 80's sequels.

memoirs of a geisha.\n\nThe dam novel was better suited for an animation than a movie (but i suppose youll have to wait a while)\n\nTry the stories of terry pratchett. they are capable of being converted to cartoons but no ones paying any attention

I'd pick Harry Potter. I love the Lord of the Rings. I have read the books for over 30 years. That's why I HATE the movies because they changed the ending and other things. I don't care how cool the action is. The whole story was about the hobbits and they changed the story at the end, I was disappointed. The journey's and trial they went through taught them to take care of themselves and Hollywood robbed us of this part of the story. It's what the books were about.
