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.

The Eragon movie is like the last season of Game of Thrones, but with none of the context of earlier seasons.

The first tome of Dragon is 600 pages, it's hardly a 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"

I was going to read Eragon with my kids, but then remembered how bad the movie was - and knew that they'd want to watch it after reading the books. So I haven't read it with them. Might get around to it eventually.
