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

    World War Z is barely at all like the book, and does a lot of really fucking stupid shit instead of having some of the really fucking cool shit from the book.

    Like instead of a blind martial arts master surviving the zombies, we get to see one of the main characters slip on a ramp and break his neck. 😬

    I still hate how Max Brooks said “Now, it’s a little unlike my book, but still good in it’s own right!” Because it wasn’t.

      Way worse than break his neck, he outright accidentally shoots himself in the head.

      And then it was insane that the zombies can magically tell if someone is specifically terminally ill and then will actively avoid them.

      Yeah. It really bugs me when people are like “it’s still a good zombie movie.”

      It is a bad movie. Regardless of genre.

      I honestly forgot that there was ever a movie made about the book because that movie just took the name and wasn’t about the book. Fantastic book. Let’s forget about the movie.
