I read Hatchet and I honestly like the book better. But the movie is still pretty good too.- I watched this movie after reading the book it is based off of, Hatchet. I honestly liked the book better because you new what he was thinking, etc... But there were funny parts in it.

Cry in the wild Director by: Mark Griffins Written by: Gary Paulsen Classification: PG Genre: documentary Country: USA Language: English Main Characters: Pamela Sue Martin as Brian's Mom, Stephen Meadows as Brian's dad, Ned Beatty as the pilot and Jared Rushton as Brian. Realised dates: June 1 1990 The differences between the movie and the book: In the book he fights a moose and in the movie he fights a bear.Also the book he gets a hatchet for the plane and in the movie he gets the hatchet from his mom. Book or movie: In my option I prefer the movie more than the book only because when I read the book I knew what was happening and kind of got a picture in my head. Then when I watched the movie I got what they were talking about and now I get a perfect picture of what they meant in the book. My Review The movie cry in the wild definly wants to make me cry.I think this movies was very well put together the script was nicely done and everything.The book has all these details that is very good and the movie is even better when you can see what is happening.Also the movie is really good and has good actors.I don’t really like how Brian had to jump of a clived nacked.I think If they did not have to do that sence I would of liked the movie a bit more. This movie has some action but not a lot I would recommend this movie for 10 years old and older.This movie has some sad part for example when Brian puts his hand throught the window and yells mom I found that part sad.I almost was going to cry.The acting was good but I think it could have been better if I was to give the a rate out of 5 I would give then 3/5.In my opion I thing that this movie and the book are similaire in some parts and in some part of the movie it has a differences.I love the starting because I love how it shows him aka Brian in the plane and everything also it does not jump right into the action.I love the ending because it’s a nice friendly ending and it’s a little sad but also amazing ending.
