Twilight

YES MAN

for worse

minority report

Steven Spielberg fucked Philip K Dick's ass with fists

>>8256938
I bet him cum taste good.

>>8256877
A Mario Bros. adaptation is ridiculous to begin with, so they did what they had to do.

>>8256938
the worst example of adaptation i can think of

Max Payne

It had such potential, too :\

>>8256938

Fuck that.It turned sci-fi noir into a sequence of forced emotions.

Time machine

>>8256938
changed for the better I assume?

A.I. (based on Super-Toys Last All Summer Long)

I Am Legend

>>8256848

Nice try. You've obviously never read the books. It's because they're so ridiculously loyal to the source material that the films are so bad. Same cast, some proper screenwriting and The Twilight Saga might've turned in to an OK trilogy of films.

xmen movies.
spiderman movies.

Every Will Smith movie. Think about it.

Awesome film, incredibly unfaithful adaptation of Roadside Picinic

>>8257002

The movie was pretty loyal to the source.

I guess some people would say Silent Hill strayed pretty far from the source. I still loved it.

>>8257002
Seriously. The game should have been one of the easiest things to adapt, and Marky Mark was a good casting choice too. Oh well. At least the movie had like ten good minutes.

>>8257002
Movies based on video games are never good.

>>8256834
What is this "Lord of the Rings" nonsense? How do you take "The Hobbit" book and invent an entire movie trilogy with different characters and plot? Tolkien must be rolling in his grave.

>>8257093
mortal kombat was

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The Gene Wilder one deviated further from the original book than the Burton adaptation and was infinitely superior.

>>8257020
in my opinion, if they hadn't been following book and with good screenwriter and director it could have been fuck-win. Great action fantasy with vampires and werewolves beating the shit out of each other

every video game movie made ever

/thread

>>8257093
MORTAL KOMBAT

MST3K: The Movie

>>8257128
I wonder how they're going to adapt the Bioshock movie.

That guy from Prison Break not planning on speaking?

>>8257062
none of them was ridiculously far from their source material.

>>8256938
The only faithful adaption my nigger ever got was A Scanner Darkly.

>>8257167
0/10

>>8257190
But they weren't.

>>8257166
It's going to be like Doom the movie. Resident Evil underwater.

>>8257169
This. I raged.

>>8257099
Not even trying

Star Wars

Gone with the wind

>>8257189

Robert Downey Jr. as Barris fucking RULED, but the film made Donna into too conventional of a love interest.

it's hard to see where they found this movie in the book.

only faggets read books, your a fagget op you fagget

>>8257256
fuck YOU asshole

>>8257169

This was pretty ridiculous.

Also, Mission: Impossible with Tom Cruise was still about "spying," but by making it about one badass action hero instead of a quirky team, they pretty much removed everything that made the series what it was. It was just a generic action movie.

>>8257231
i mad that they cut tons of Freck out and scaled back the "jive cat"s and stuff, but I was pretty pleased with it overall.

>>8257083
i always laugh at fags who complain about the silent hill movie fucking with the story

aside from 1 and 3, they all had different stories
and even those two didn't have great continuity

>>8257256
I preferred the movie. The book was fucking retarded. DURKA DURKA JIHAD ending

>>8257353

I know what you mean.They took out Dick's subtle racist overtone, too.I wish I could say I "balled" girls without having to explain.

>>8257320

>MI 1
>Generic Action movie.

>>8257371
Except it was retarded that there was a pyramid head in the movie since only James should have been able to see him.

Although Homecoming fucked that up too so now the series has gone to shit.

>>8257435
>THINGS ARE DIFFERENT SOMEBODY HELP ME!

I nominate Silent Hill for best game to film adaptation.

>>8257435
Pyramid Head's always been there in the background as the town executioner. He was just more prominent in James' tale for obvious wife related reasons

Most Stephen King books were butchered on the big screen. Hearts in Atlantis being the most recent one I can think of. Obviously you have Dreamcatcher...

Forest Gump

Blade Runner I guess.

Lawnmower Man. Nothing but the title.

The Shining

bewitched

>>8257717
no, it keeps a lot from book

The Jungle Book

disney raped Mowgli

>>8257500

no. pyramid head was a manifestation of james' mind to represent sexual frustration. the executioners in silent hill in the old days wore that pyramid thing on their head, and when james and mary first visited, that picture in the historical society must've had an effect on him.

"The Running Man"

James Bond

Jane Austen-ised version. And the lead actress preggers to boot.

the Golden Compass. in b4 lol book sucked, it really didn't

His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass (Movie)
huge pile of crap.

The book was a billion times better, I'm glad that the project of a second movie was dropped.

>>8258291
brofist.

>>8258291
book sucked bro

would have been fun to see them try to make the sequels into tween movies though

EVERYONE IS FORGETTING I AM LEGEND

>Ctrl+F
>Dune
>No results

/tv/ I am disappoint

So loose that if they had changed the names, they could have released this film with absolutely no risk of copyright infringement.

>>8261240
wasnt so far off. Just ridiculously trimmed for the sake of time. Also >lol raining at the end

THE MOVIE WAS RIGHT THERE WHAT THE FUCK HOLLYWOOD

>>8261240
Lynch's Dune wasn't far removed just 6 hours shorter.

Homer's Odyssey, lol.

>>8261391
hurr durr, it wasn't exactly the same as the book so obviously its not a good analog

>>8257422

How was MI 1 NOT a generic action movie? it was like a thousand other things out at the time.

>>8257320
the series sucked too

The Prisoner was the only good thing to come out of that fad

Fuck you paul thomas anderson....You could've made the movie like the book (Oil!) which would've been so much more relevant to todays time (government corruption, greed, capitalism vs. socialism/communism, big business, war)

Instead you shat out a movie about some crazy and greedy oil man, and worst of all you made H.W (bunny) a fuckin deaf/mute. Upton Sinclair would've beat you over the head with a bowling pin.

>>8261727

For better or worse?

>>8261748
WTF?

Eragon fucking sucked.

>>8261814
You decide

>>8257518
'Hearts in Atlantis' was a bastardized version of the book, but 'Dreamcatcher' actually followed the book pretty closely, until the end, and just completely ruined it.

Horrible...

>>8262628
THAT'S YOUR OPINION

>>8262628
Fuck your nostalgia. The original was two notches up from shit and the remake is one.

>>8262513

Duddits was not a fucking alien in the Dreamcatcher book.

die in hell Michael Bay

>>8261174
>>8258291

This.

not only did they try to make it "less offensive", but they cut off THE CLIMAX OF THE FUCKING BOOK.

>>8262657
The original at least had an actual plot with actual characters and wasn't trumped up michael bay-like hollywood bullshit.

Utter Shit

Every videogame movie ever.

>>8262767

>>8262658
That's the ending I was referring to. Note how I said, "until the end, and just completely ruined it."

>>8261748

File that one under "Different but great".

>>8261748
>implying movies that try to be 'current' are good

>>8263082
Him being left out is a crime.

>>8263114
no, it's not a crime, this is pure genius.

>Tom Bombadil directors cut
>extra 13 hours of deleted scenes

>>8263114

Bombadil completely destroys any credibility the Ring has as an object of temptation. You just spent a bunch of time establishing the Ring as highly addictive and magnetizing and then you go an introduce a faggoty hermit who's all like "Nope, not interested in the Ring. Let's have tea."

>>8263170
Did you even read the book, or did you just read the wikipedia article so you could wander into threads and go "LOL TOLKIEN'S A STUPID FAGGOT LOLOLOL BRB FAPPAN TO GEORGE RR MARTIN"?

Well, of course it was the latter.

>>8263114
Dude, fuck Tom Bombadil. I almost stopped reading the trilogy because of his ass. 30 pages of him sitting around doing fuck all? NO.

>>8263246

You mad?

>>8263250
>>8263170
>>8263136
Faggots.

Although, I'll admit it's probably for the best that he was left out of Fellowship. He's still an awesome character, and an awesome part of the book.

>>8263382
You're an asshole. Shave your neckbeard and get out of the house.
