Great books made into rubbish films.
Discussion
I give you Hannibal.
So much going for it,
Anthony Hopkins
Julie-ann Moore
Ridley Scott
Ray Liotta
And they completely cocked it up. 100%. They ruined the ending completely and the rest of the film didn't inspire me much either.
Coming after Silence of the Lambs, it was always going to have high expectations, but they turned out some total dross.
Poor effort. 1.5/10

I'm reading the Bond books by Ian Fleming at the moment, the films, particularly the Roger Moore ones are very different.
Good call. Different, I like that description!!The books are completely different, and also very good.
Sphere, really good read, Dustin Hoffman in the film.....crap, so much missing.
After my son and I saw the film, I recommended he read the book, which he did, and agreed with my original comment, carp film.
Good plot though................ they find a space ship on the ocean floor, been there around 300 years, and they find out "Made in America".....

I will rant at anyone that says "The Beach."
Why?:-)
t film The Beach as a book is pretty well written, in such a way that you have a view of what you think the setting / paradise is actually like. Instead of telling you what the place is like, you're left to fill in parts of it yourself. As such, the location in my mind is different from what you see in your mind.
When you watch the film, you are seeing paradise as the director sees it. Since it's different to how you pictured it in your head, you think it's a crap film. It's not, it's just someone else's view.
(He should never have shagged her though, didn't happen in the book, shouldn't have happened in the film.)
