Quote from: Xenomrph on Aug 28, 2013, 09:07:07 PMI like movie novelizations in general, I find them to be a fascinating side part of the moviegoing experience. The novelizations are sometimes based on earlier script drafts and are often written while the movie is still in production, so they'll include parts that end up as "deleted scenes" when the movie actually comes out.
Or, as is the case in the
Predator novelization, you have a completely different monster that bears almost no relation to the one ultimately featured in the film!
Quote from: SM on Aug 28, 2013, 11:35:25 PMI don't recall anything especially bad in the Resurrection novelisation. I think I read Crispins Han Solo series of books around the same time which I remember really digging.
I just thought the writing was slightly childish, in comparison to ADF's far more mature style. Still, I shan't knock anyone for enjoying it. Like I said, I found the extra info it contained pretty interesting.
Oh, and thanks for the (inadvertent) warning about
AVP, despite not liking the film I was thinking about picking that one up to see if it improved anything. I shan't bother now!
