Edited by: Zezman on 06/08/2005 23:30:52 Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, I would have to say The Neverending Story. If you've ever read The Neverending Story, you would notice that the first Neverending Story movie bore a slight resemblance to the first ONE THIRD of the book, and the movie ended before the story truly began. They made some sequels direct to video, which sucked badly. The book is by far much more enjoyable, and it has a good point too.

Day of the Jackal.
The original, that is, with Edward Fox. God alone knows what the remake was like, and I really hope I never find out

Funny thing is that the author was a major part of making the movie. He screwed his own story up. ------------------------------------- You are all worthless, and weak.

Gladiator. AAAGH! YOU "ú$"!!! Talk about rewriting history... bad enough what you did to the brits stealing their thunder in 182, now you have Commodus as emperor and Lucius still alive? Hollywood is a scourge on the face of this world, purely for their raping of history to make films that attract the "Yeh man, we taught dem sunz o dogs a lessun shure nuff..." crowd. Don't get me started on Braveheart... The brave scottish peasant? HA! Wallace was a Laird who only got ****ed off with british rule when they decided they didn't like him anymore, before that he lived off cutbacks and pay-offs as much as the rest of them. And it was Robert who had leprosy not his dad.
Wait a minute... what was the topic... oh yeah novel conversions...
Starship troopers was pathetic. Jurassic Park and its sequel missed the books by a good nine yards. BUT, my top of the list!
Hannibal. What in gods name happened to the ending? Never mind the totally random restructuring and the missing sections and the bizarre insertions of "Scene invented cause we thought it was cool", the biggest bugbear is the finale. If you don't know why read the book, you'll have goosebumps for a month.

Yeah, but he didn't actually get to oversee making the film, which is the important bit. Doesn't matter how good your screenplay is, once the studio hack n slashists, bad actors and directors who interpret the characters differently get their hands on it you're screwed. Unless of course you've contracted yourself in so you have a good degree of control and can make sure it turns out well regardless. He didn't get the chance to do this due to being dead.

Originally by: Sentani Edited by: Sentani on 31/07/2005 10:46:27 onskan (or "evil") is a swedish book... it really kicks a$$
the movie tho... its like 20% as good as the book...
they messed everything up... the ending became the begining and everything was tossed to HELL!
offcouse it wasnt a "hollywood" film... just swedish trash
I totally agree there... Jan Guillou's book owned, the movie maker seemed like he didnt understand what was important about the book.. I was very disappointed in teh film. _______________________________________

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is absolutely *nothing* like the grail legends written in the late middle ages....
Or, on a less comedic note: - the recent Stepford Wives, Captain Corelli's Mandolin and Breakfast at Tiffany's ALL have different endings and ruin a point that the book was trying to make
- Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 1984, Catch 22 and A Clockwork Orange are all extremely lame compared to the book
- And pretty much anything written by Philip K. ****, although Bladerunner is a good film it's not much like the book, and Total Recall (We can remember it for you wholesale) and Minority Report are poor efforts. I have high hopes (pardon the pun) for A Scanner Darkly Linkage
- And any Asterix or Tintin film is slow paced and misses all the fun of the books

I'm voting for Dune personaly. I doubt I'll ever get tired of reading Herbert's series, but found it very dificult to sit through the David Lynch version of the movie.
Startship troopers was a disapointment, mainly because it was not anything like the book. The movie had none of the subtext and depth that the book had. It the Movie had been called "Bugwars" and not tried to connect itself to the book, I think I would have been free to enjoy it (the movie is pretty good as a grade B sci fi thriller with some limited subtext about the dangers of a strong military to a democracy, and the rise of a facist power).
The best movie adaptation from a book has to be The Last of the Mohicans. Its the only movie adaptation of a book where I think the movie was superior. The big screen captured the wild beauty of Appalachia wonderfuly, and the movie did not tell the story twice, the way the book did.

on the thread of conversions between formats.. Phantom Of The Opera as Broadway Vs Movie. few of my favorite broadway W***** cried about the movie, "oh, its going to be horrible" afterwards, they were all grins and giggles. where a movie<book, I think in this case move>onstage. the ability to pay more attention to backgrounds, setpieces, movements and changings instead of the single viewpoint of onstage.. drifting off I suppose.. but, um, yah, Phantom on DVD, go buy it now if ya like musicals.
