Which books have the worst video adaptation? - lemm.ee

For me it’s definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.

  • Dune (the old one, not the new one)
  • Dark Tower
  • Eragon
  • Ender’s Game
  • The Witcher (a real shame, it could have been such a good IP for Netflix)

Most adaptations suck, these are just some from the top of my head.

Oh God, I remember how disappointed I was when seeing the Eragon movie. After having read the trilogy I was having such high hopes, it could’ve been a LOTR alike trilogy, but instead we got this half baked… Stuff. At least the actors gave their best.

Kind of in the same line with the golden compass I guess?

I really enjoyed the Eragon books as a kid but they aren’t great themselves. It’s a mediocre book series adapted to a bad film.

Oh yeah for sure, they were great to child me, I haven’t read them in years.

I just thought of another example to the theme: I also really enjoyed the vampires assistant thirteenology or so, but the movie was horrendous!
