We asked The Atlantic’s writers and editors: What’s a film adaptation that’s better than the book?

The article explains why they consider the movies Jurassic Park, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Devil Wears Prada, The Social Network, and Clear and Present Danger each to be better than their source material.

    V for Vendetta.

    The original graphic novel is good, but very dated to the feel of the Thatcher years.

    The film has aged a lot better and it smoothed out the pacing, making it much more enjoyable IMO.

      I agree. I read the comics after the movie and while I enjoyed them, imo the movie was better.
