Hmmm, in fairness, I meant that in the context that you watched the movie first before reading the book.
Once you read the book (and feel that the book is awesome), you will naturally want the best treatment possible for the book on the silver screen. This will be ultimately based on your perception of what the book meant to you, etc., and this is why I think you feel that way.
That said, my sweeping generalization was unjustified. I never saw the Neverending Story, I'm afraid, and neither have I read the book (on the pre-text that It might never end? XD). If the second part was so unwatchable, then I shall have to take your word for it, lady_angelina
