Everything, but most especially... harry potter 6 . It's NOTHING like the movie, to me.

LOTR for sure, but that's just because I'm a geek. Maybe if they made it into a long looong series they could get all the happenings into it. And Arwen sux.

The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks had me crying like a baby, but the movie was HORRID! Not just because it had Miley Cyrus in it either, and she didn't suit the role anyway.

The Lovely Bones was so much better to read than to watch. I don't think it's possible to do both, not for me at least because I tend to become entirely frustrated if they are not similar.

I refused to watch any more of the Harry Potters after I saw the first and second ones. They should make a whole new set that is actually good for once.

I actually liked The Lovely Bones movie and not the book, to me it was quite boring and uninteresting past the 100th page. But hey, that's just me :wink:

Avalon High-The movie and book were both terrible, so I guess they cancel each other out?

Thought that the book "City of Ember" was much better than the movie. The movie had bad actors and it was just plain awful. Thats really all i have ti say... Toodles!!!

I have a few, but i think the worst is the Twilight series. They murdered it! ll the books are way, way better!
Also Eragon, the book is sooooooooooooooo much better, are they all like that?!
Although i didn't get along with the book The Fire Theif, i didn't read enough of the book to dislike the movie. This time (Only) i liked the movie more than the book.

OMG! Most books really. I hate directors and producers that kill the whole story of an amazing book!
Here's my mini list of The Films I Wanted To Cry About Because They Killed The Whole Story:
*Eragon (and I love that book, it was one of my inspirations for writing fantasy)
*All Harry Potters
*And All the Twilights (and I haven't even read the books!)

Well, that's all I can be bothered to think up! Oh, one film that was better then the book though - P.S I Love You (but only because I love Gerard Butler...what a fitty!!)

Percy Jackson and The Olympians : The Lightning Thief. I REALLY LOVE THE BOOKS and Rick Riordan is a genius. I was pretty disappointed when the movie was totally different. Percy Jackson was supposed to be 12 years old but Percy in the movie was around 17. They also took a LOT of major characters. Oh well. At least Logan Lerman's really cute, so that's okay. XD I just wish they didn't change the characters that much. T_T
REVIEW!!!
'cause I review back. XD XD XD

HARRY POTTER series, Twilight saga, PERCY JACKSON.

I love the novels more than the movies.
Sometimes B sharp,
Never B flat,
Always B natural.

I love writing songs and listening to music and books and daydreaming and coffee at five in the morning.

Being a S.K fan, i could rattle off numerous movies that were absolute rubbish to the book.

Nonetheless.

IT, is my favorite book by him and i bought the movie (5 dollars haha) and i just couldn't get over how crummy it was.

Also, The Shining. "Here's Johnny," wasn't in the book. And there was no maze in the novel!

My sisters keeper, P.S. I love you, the notebook ... they're all good films, but all 3 changed the book plot drastically (2 changed the ending, one changed the place it was set to a completely different continent)
I think P.S. I love you lost its charm when they set it in New York.
by the way, I know they're all really cliché books AND films but I still love them :D
