[QUOTE="trappedslider, post: 7326311, member: 41932"] So with Ready Player One around the corner, it got me thinking of what I consider to be my favorite and least favorite book to screen adaptations and why. To start with, Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone is one of my favorites because of high closely the book was followed over anything else and the fact that J.K was on set to help it along. Following that however is naturally the LotR simply because it brought to life Tolkien's world. In the middle of the pack is The Hobbit trilogy and and currently Thirteen Reasons Why both of theses are in the middle because they have added or removed or moved things around. 13 reasons why is higher than The Hobbit because I feel that what they added gives more depth to the source material. Before I fall, which is basically means girls combined with Ground Hog day was a decent job, I understand that they couldn't do every repeats so they were only able to hint at some the dropped events. Now to the horrible: I am leaving out Battlefield Earth and Starship Troopers because well...yeah....anyway, The Percy Jackson movies were horrible IMO, it's like they ignored 90% of the book, Uncle Rick had nothing to do with it....I mean the musical is a better adaptation than the movies. What about you? [/QUOTE]
