There's lot of bad book-to-screen adaptations. An old one that came to mind now is Day of the Triffids (1962). John Wyndhams was a great sci-fi novel with quite a lot of depht, the film was mostly streamlined to some "attack of the killer plants" concept, stripped of most the social, psychological and political speculations of the original work. I saw the film on late night tv first, and when I got the book in a bundle of other sci-fi novels it was a pleasant surprise.

About eleven different Alistair Maclean film adaptations - Breakheart Pass being turned from a novel I really liked, into just about the worst film I've ever seen of any description. That took some doing.

Breakfast at Tiffany's. If the book doesn't have a happy ending, the film shouldn't.
And Spielberg's War of the Worlds. If the book isn't a load of ill-conceived, ****-poor ****e dressed up and dumbed-down for a bunch of ******* slack-jawed, brain-dead, knuckle-dragging hick ****wits who are having a night off from the ******* monster-truck derby, the film shouldn't be. Ooops

Well, looking back at my alcohol-fuelled rant in the cold light of day, I realise I may have been a tad over-generous with the expletives. The film still sucks though.

Take a satire of 19th-century Britain and set it in 21st-century America, and what on earth else would you expect? On that score alone, the film is totally ludicrous.

The film version of Rancid Aluminium was so bad that most people haven't even heard of it.
Good book, though.

Verhooooovens Starship Troopers.
Turning the awsome idea of a small decisive number of mobile infantrymen in their armored powersuits into a rabble of plastic armor wearing peashooter carrying bunch of quasi cannonfodder was very disappointing, to say the least.
And I¦m not even touching the real crime of this film. Distorting Heinleins controversial social commentary and dumbing it down to a militaristic pseudo faschist state that uses unisex showers in its army.

Micahel Marshall Smith's book 'Spares', was made into a movie called 'The Island'. Took a bit of the spares story, dumbed it down, changed just enough of it that it legally isn't 'spares' and we have a 'new' script and movie.
Yes, i'm annoyed.

The film is awful :( And the worst thing might well be that the sucky-ness of this %^&%$$ film might stop someone with skill and integrity actually doing a proper adaptation of Spares.

The Sum of All Fears
Replaced the Arab terrorists with Neo-****s because the entirety of America has gone soft, removed the tank battle in Berlin started by german terrorists posing as East German Officers, cast complete dead wood as Jack Ryan (Ben Affleck), brought Admiral James Greer back to life only to kill him again, and didnt have Ding Chavez.

If Christopher's happy with it, it's a safe bet JRR would have been.
If Christopher's not happy with it, it wouldn't have got made.

Queen of the Damned, was a fine book but the movie was woeful.
Tv series of earthsea looked pretty bad as well but it was a mini-series.
