It shouldn't though, but it does, so because of that I now watch the movies first so I can enjoy them for what they are, and then read the comics so I can enjoy them for what they are.

I find it's more fun usually to read the book, and enjoy it more because the movie hasn't already ruined it for you, and then watch the movie and if it's good say how well it adapted the book, and if it's bad, as in most cases, you can pick it apart and make fun of every bit.
But that's just me
