For Movies that TOTALLY RUIN BOOKS!!!!! (And some that don't)

For the first: ERAGON MOVIE SUX and ERAGON BOOK RULZ!!

Also, there is almost no connection between the two except for the title.

Besides that, I have surprisingly found some rather obscure movies based off of books that follow the books pretty well, namely:

Bridge to Terebithia (love!!! <3)
Hoot (ah....Mullet Fingers.... <3 <3)
Holes (ZERO!!! ^_^ *fangirl squee*

yes, i liked the bridge to terabithia remake as well, along with the Wardrobe series. (you know, the lion the witch and the wardrobe and prince caspian, no? *fangirl squee for the prince*)

Yes, I really like those too. (They're not the "wardrobe series" they're CHRONICLES OF NARNIA!!! ) However, they don't follow the books as closely as the other three, so I didn't mention them.

Somehow this isn't matching the original topic but other movies full of win that are based off of books:
Lord of the Rings (Favorite movies AVAR IN THE HISTORY OF ALL MOVIES IN THE WORLD!!!)
Martian Child (doesn't follow the book exactly (for some weirdness in the book?) but is still very cute)

i knew they had a different name, but for the likes of me, I couldn't remember.

I'll add the Golden Compass to that, too, even though it doesn't follow the book exactly either.

I haven't seen Golden Compass so I'm not sure if it's good or bad, however I have heard that it messed up the book quite a lot.

Oh! and a very obscure book/movie that I like a LOT is Freak the Mighty/The Mighty. Again, the movie messes up the book some, but the story itself is still VERY cool!

I didn't think it messed it up that badly, but then again, it has been a while since i've seen it.

Also, I love that book. I think it was the first one (or one of the first ones) I read my sophomore year, I didn't know they had a movie though. i think there's a squeal, too.

Jumper is based off a book, it's a really good movie but for the most part it doesn't follow the book.

Coraline was brilliant but am I mistaken in thinking that Wyborn was only in the movie?

Also There's a movie coming out called 'Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs' that's based off of a kids book. The book's only got around 12 pages and has basically no plot so it's obvious that Hollywood took some creative liberties with the movie.

@TDLHP: There's a sequel to the book called Max the Mighty, which is ok, but not nearly as good as the first book. Idk if that's been turned into a movie, but I doubt it. ALso, there's a book called "The Last Book in the Universe" written by the same author which is AMAZING and full of win! (loves that book to death)

@Hempy: I've never heard of Jumpy, what's it about?

CORALINE'S A BOOK TOO?!?! *dashes off* (I hope Wyborn's in it, I love wyborn! He's my favorite character!)

Jumper is a movie about this dude who can travel where ever he wants but who's being hunted by bad guys cuz of this ability.

Lol, i thought everyone knew by now that Coraline was a book.

also, Howl's Moving Castle is a book as well. a good one, might i add, but the characters especially are different in the book than the movie (though not much different)

^_^" *is always the one out of the loop, lol*

Howl's Moving Castle is the next anime on my list of "must watch" closely followed by Baccano which my friend keeps telling me to watch, lol.

mine is Bleach.

oh, another book/movie that almost no one knows about is The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons. I havent seen the movie or read the short story/book thing so i couldn't tell you if either of them are good.

god i hated the movie that was 2 hours of my life i wish i could have back... the book was great tho i own all 3 soon to be all four...

Hmm, I watched the movie, and even though the previews for it were really cool, I was quite disappointed by the actual thing. Still, I'd like to give the books a try if I can find them.

Oh! Another one I just remembered! The City of Ember! The movie was...ehh...ok, (Doon was hot though!) but I really liked the books.

Ah...Doon....*squeefangirlgiggle*

I didnt read the book, but i thought the movie was wicked sweet.

i've seen the movie but i haven't read the book, either

that seems to happen a lot.

Mmmmm....but Doon is so sweet in the book! *squeefangirlhuggles*

......you wanna dip him in chocolate, dont you?

lol some things are good dipped in chocolate like bananas... and strawberries but I want them to make a movie about Just Listen by Sarah Dessen.

duuuude! any movie by that author's bound to be good (at least the storyline is, anyway, the producers might beat the crap out of everything else)

I know! i love her books. Just Listen, i think, would be a good movie.

(i say good, not great, because u never know how bad the director will screw it up)

Hmm...I've never heard of Sarah Dessen. What kinda books does she write?
