        The book is much better. Translating genius to the screen is difficult at best, and they (the director and producers,) didn’t seem to understand the objective.

            The 2nd one was pretty good too. 3 and 4 went kinda off the rails. But then the Bean series was interesting again.

              4 was a weird ride, but the last fifty pages ended the series well for me. Enough that when I closed the book there was a moment of sadness that the story I read as a child was finally concluded.

              Bean books were amazing. Bought them all on hardback for $5 and felt guilty thinking they should have been more.
