Because no one is going with the classic, I can mention Eragon.
When I went to community college, I'd arrive early to one theater class, and sitting there already (from a previous class, I believe) were two girls/women who somehow managed to fill 75% of their conversation, every time, with "Eragon was such a bad movie adaptation."
Which taught me that the movie was so bad they it genuinely hurt fans of the novel.
Yeah. I guess this post is now about bad movie adaptations in general.
You are 100% right about the Eragon movie. I loved those books as a kid and I was so excited for that movie and it was just so bafflingly terrible. It was like they didn't even try.
That was my first movie as a kid where I thought "wow, the adults really fucked up the retelling of the book, if this is what this is supposed to be"
