We’ve all seen this scenario: your favourite book is being adapted to film and you’re really excited, but when you finally get to see it, it doesn’t live up to your expectations. With book to film adaptations, there’s always going to be aspects of the novel that don’t translate well into the film format, however, some films completely miss the mark and the movie ends up falling short of the source material. What are some movies you feel are not as good as their novels?

MPHFPC. The movie was good, just had many incorrect things.
I haven’t had the chance to watch that movie in its entirety. I’ve heard mixed things about it though.
Like what?
Some people like it, others don’t, that sort of stuff.
Have you read the books?
I know I’ve read the first one and I might have read the second, but I’m not sure.
There are five
Ok, the main thing is that Olive and Emma’s peculiarities are switched and Olive is about seventeen.
Ah. I have a box set with the first three then.
Right. I remember seeing a video about that.
My favorite part 
The Giver. They didn’t include many details from the book in the movie.
but i also prefer books over movies so i may be bias
