I am forever bitter about Eragon…
Most of them? Lord of the Rings is the exception not the rule
There’s a list of great ones.
Shawshank.
Fight Club.
2001 (kinda cheating tho).
Green Mile.
The Godfather.
American Psycho.
Since you brought up Kubrick I’d say pretty much his whole filmography is better, with the Shining being the lone debatable exception
Kubrick…good adaptions
You mean Stanley “I didn’t even read the entirety of A Clockwork Orange” Kubrick? Mister “Actually let’s age up the girl in Lolita and spend time focusing on how sexy she is”? That Kubrick? Dude completely ignores the point of both books and does the one thing the authors very specifically do not want you to do
Not the best Crichton novel, but Sphere. The book was a fun read but not even the combined powers of Dustin Hoffman and Samuel L Jackson could make the movie adaptation palatable.
Di Vinci Code was butchered, and I’m sorry to say it but Hanks was the wrong choice for Robert Langdon.
I loved the Timeline book from Crichton, but one look at the trailer for the movie, I decided to not watch it. It looked really bad. 5.6 on imdb sort of backs that up I guess.
Indeed. I saw that movie and it was pretty bad. The book, like most of his novels, was a good read though.
