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.

      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.
