Which was better?

The Film was pretty cool, but the book wins hands down

For me it would have to be the story simply because if given a choice between reading and watching, I'd much rather read. That being said, I guess I'm one of the few here that enjoyed the movie. I was looking to be entertained and it delivered.

I did like the movie - particularly because the actors were so good. However, my imagination is always scarier than a movie. I'd have to come down on the side of the book on this one...

Per usual the story was better

I enjoyed the movie a lot. I thought John Cusack was great as Mike. If anyone saw it on dvd, I'd be curious to know which ending you enjoyed more? An alternate ending was included in the special features.

I liked the movie,haven't read the book yet.
Most of the times I like the books better than the movie though.

I liked the movie because it introduced me to 1408. I'm enjoying the short story collection right now and just finished the story.
I like the story for the themes maintained throughout it.
I also like the movie's use of the water, post office and return to the room from you can never really escape the room which was a nice use of plot while not using all the interior dialogue in the character's head, which ended up sounding like a case file.
It is interesting that it sounded like a case file.

Well I'm very fond of the short story but then the movie and acting was really good too. It's a hard question for me but I guess the movie is better in my opinion.
