Movie Adpation That Just Didnt DoThe Book Justice!

Having read and very much enjoying Robert Ludlum's
The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and the Bourne Ultimatum. I was really disappointed with the movies. I do understand that you have to change book stuff to make it fit the movie per say. But they pretty much took what made the books great and completely left it out of the movies. You get a little taste of the book in The Bourne Identity but, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum's plots are totally different.

Lol, I was the other way around with that one. Love the movie, but just couldn't get through the book.

Hmm..good to know. I'll see if I can find these audiobooks.

Dune might be at the top of the list.

Jurassic Park and Congo

I hate the Bourne movies because they left out what made the books great, and I saw the movies first.
I'll add The Running Man.

I'm not sure that a good cinematic or even a HBOlike series could be done from the Dune universe. It would either be cheesy and shitty (like the movie and the SyFy series), or would incur exorbitant costs.

The Hobbit Trilogy what a clusterfrick and I like the LOTR adaptations. Also though a strong movie I hated the changes in The Shining.

Unbroken is the first that comes to mind for me. The book by Laura Hillenbrand (author of Seabiscuit) was an incredible read - one of those can't-put-down books. The movie was a giant ball of meh and totally missed the mark.

Pretty much every Stephen King adaption

Eragon, just threw most of the source material in the trash when they made that clusterf&%k. I understand that they wanted a kid-friendly adventure movie, but dang did they mess that one up.

I'm still angry at this one. The first half of the movie got it right, but then the tangent happened and it shite all over the spectacular source material. Such a travesty

The Hobbit trilogy make me blinding mad.

Destroyed the book to make a shitload of money.

World War Z
Any of Clive Cussler's books.
Any of Tom Clancy's books.
The books had almost nothing to do with the movies. Cain is for Charlie and Charlie is for Carlos or whatevs.

I tried listening to the audiobook and couldn't understand WTF was going on, so I bailed on it. I guess I'm just slow.
