the World movie is more interesting than the book because the movie shows how the Martians landed on Earth from Mars. I also like how the Martians killed the people from the heat rays.

The book and the movie are similar because‚ at the beginning of the book and the movie‚ the Martians fall from Mars. In the book and the movie‚ the cylinder

In the film the 13th warrior compared to Beowulf showed many differences as well as some similarities. The director of the 13th warrior might have wanted to include similarities‚ but there was a lot of outstanding differences. But as the theme of both great thrillers still stands as good vs evil. The fight for an actual more realistic story actually stood out more to me than a fictional thriller of dragons and demons. The outstanding differences of the film compared to the great anglo saxon story
