Major Differences
 * Some characters act differently from the book
 * Lombard is in Blore's spot from the book at multiple times.
 * Wargrave compared themselves to the game of pool, a game of the mind

From the book to the movie, there are always many major and minor differences to compare the two. For example, in the Harry Potter movie... never mind. No spoilers allowed. In this movie, And Then There Were None, you can already see many minor differences from the very beginning. One of the very many minor differences in this movie are the names of the characters and who they killed before they got onto the island. A few of the major differences in my opinion are how some characters act differently from the book to the movie, what Blore is supposed to do Lombard does in the movie, and how Wargrave compares each of them to a game of pool, a game of the mind.

Many characters act much differently in the book. For example, General Macarthur's name in the movie is General Mandrake. This is one of the minor differences. In the movie, he acts very differently because he is older and for some reason cannot hear anything. In the book, he seems like a retired military man that needs a break from other things. But in the end, he still becomes crazy and dies.

Blore's actions in the book effect the actions of others. The choices that he made were very major. Blore has a cover and is a ex-detective, when he goes into the house. In the movie, Lombard's actions are what Blore should be doing. For example, Lombard was the one with the cover and the one who heard all of the footsteps, while in the book, Blore was supposed to do those things. In my opinion, this is major because they basically switched 2 roles from the book into the movie.

In this version of the movie, Wargrave is always taking charge, like in the book. But you would expect this, because he was a judge, and they are usually the boss at court. But unlike the book, he compared themselves to the game of pool, a game of the mind, which is true. Pool is a very strategic game, and if you play it right then you will win. But the way Wargrave played all of them in the house was very good, but he cannot always expect for his plan to always work out. In the movie, Vera shot near Lombard instead of actually shooting him. Lombard finally figured it out at the very end somehow, and since he knew that he was supposed to be "shot," she fake shot him as he fell down. Wargrave took down the 2nd to last indian figure at the table because he thought that his plan worked out perfectly, and killed himself while seeing that it did not. The Wargrave in the book was much smarter than the Wargrave in the movie because he was much more quiet but still took charge and gave the ideas instead of always talking like the movie.

Personally, I liked the book better than the movie because it was more interesting and had a more eerie effect, while the movie was more comedic and entertaining. But still, both were very fun to read and watch. The book and the movie had very minor and major differences, but the book will usually be better than the movie, because the movie would be either too long for it to include every single detail from the book, or too short because they barely included any. Or it could just be some completely different movie only using very few minor details from the book.
