Actually, they shot a lot of those scenes, but the studio cut it out. They DID shoot the entirety of the ending. There are even bits of it in the original theatrical trailer, with completed VFX. There are also many scenes of Lyra's time with the Gyptians on the sea that was filmed but just cut! It's said in some blog online that most of what made the story human and emotional was basically cut.

The Lovely Bones????? My opinion: I saw the movie and then read the novel which is great for me considering the visual that the movie has helped imagine what Susie's "heaven" looks like in the book. Yes, the movie left A LOT of stuffs on the book but one thing that I liked on the movie is Susie's progression from the time she was murdered to the time she spent on the in-between and finally letting go and going to THE heaven, which something I never got in the book because there's a lot of things that are happening to her and her family at the same time. That's my take.

Here’s my list of books (YA novels) that shouldn’t have been made into movies. 1. The Giver 2. Twilight 3. Percy Jackson 4. A Wrinkle in Time 5. Maximum Ride 6. City of Bones 7. The Hunger Games 8. The 5th Wave

Okay, I loved the novel, truly my favorite literature work ever, I’ve also been a great literature analyzer, the 2013 movie was beautiful and conveyed the imagery F Scott Fitzgerald used in his book beautifully, but the themes of the illusion of the American Dream, and the deterioration of Jay’s armor and the reflection of Jays mansion and his true self, simply did not make its way onto the screen. I myself liked the movie but felt it was a poorly pieced interpretation of the book. That is why the movie received as much disapproval as it did. Because it came from most of the people who actually read the novel before the film.

Lovely bones was actually a good movie

Going with what you posted, your opinion of it being a bad novel automatically means no one should try adapting it in the first place get it? Lol

Didn't say that. What I said is no one should be surprised that a bad novel became a bad movie. A different thing. After all some times a bad novel can be and is made into a great movie. A classic example being Gone with the Wind, a shitty novel was made into a great movie. And of course a great novel can be made into a terrible movie. The classic case being the various movie versions of Anna Karenina most of which are garbage.And of course I don't care if they adapt some literary work into a movie or not they are perfectly free to do so and if they manage to turn shit into gold in the process more power to them!! What I am saying is that bad source material makes it more difficult to make a good, let alone great, adaption of the work in another medium. The Da Vinci Code is a classic example of bad source material, inane plot, bad writing combined to make crap. That the movie turned out badly should not be a surprise.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I haven't seen one that has done it justice.

"The Host", "Twilight", pretty much anything with Stephanie Meyer's name on it...

I thought that with The Host, Stephenie Meyer would at least be a good writer of science fiction novels. I give that movie two stars at best, and that was because another movie I wanted to see had already left the theatres.

I've heard that The Lovely Bones is a great movie. Also, the Percy Jackson movies are so bad that even the author of the books hated them and yet you didn't mention them. Ok.

The 2013 version of the Great Gatsby was really good. It was so good that I hate the ending

I have to disagree. Great Gatsby is one of my favorite novels of all time and the 2013 movie did it justice. Yes, it gets the glitz and glam- but it also gets a lot more of the story than you give it credit for.

excuse me but the lovely bones was absolutely amazing and the cinematography was insanly beautiful that should not be on this list

World War Z is a way worse film that Watchmen OR Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. World War Z used only the book's title and NONE of the actual plot of the book, shifted the location of the initial attack, and abandoned the format of the book, so how is it ONLY an HONORABLE MENTION when the two other films stayed truer to their source material?

Blood and chocolate good book and not a bad film but good example of "wait they are supposed to be telling the same story?"

Sorry, but I really have to disagree about "Cloud Atlas;" I thought that the film adaptation was incredible and it made a huge personal impact on me, and it's become one of my all-time favorite movies (even if some of the makeup occasionally does look a bit janky).

Leonardo DiCaprio was the perfect Gatsby... but everything else was wrong. A shame, really.

...I guess we all forgot about the garbage fire that was Ella Enchanted? I was recently in a bookstore that offered the book and movie as a bundle. I told the cashier that I really didnt want the movie, so he "unbundled" them and only knocked the price down two dollars.

They're talking about books that shouldn't have been made into movies. Not books that shouldn't have been made into books in the first place.

I liked Watchmen, The Lovely Bones, Great Gatsby, The Da Vinci Code and Confessions of a shopaholic!

Having read the book and seen the movie "Never let me go" is a beautiful piece of cinema that should in no way be associated with this list...

For the first time i disagree with your list

I personally think that the dark tower movie would have benefited from Matthew McConaughey and Idris Alba switching roles. I would have loved to see Idris as a villain and McConaughey just gives off that gun slinger vibe.

"Is it too pretentious to say Watchmen is too complex to be made into a movie?" Yes, absolutely. With the right director and vision, there's no doubt in my mind we could get an incredible adaptation out of it. Comic-to-film is almost always better than book-to-film because both are visual mediums, and Watchmen benefits from being one self-contained story (not counting the expanded material that isn't associated with Alan Moore). Zack Snyder was just not the right choice. Get someone who will treat it as a STORY first, comic book adaptation second, and it could definitely be done.

Exactly the creator of the hbo series should make it.

Cloud Atlas is amazing. They wove the stories together beautifully but it is a movie that can’t just be watched once.

I watched this in the theatre after I lost my 16 month old thinking it would help my grief. It was very similar to the book I read when it first came out, way before my daughter was thought of. This movie tore me up bcuz it was real life. There were times I needed to walk out due to my crying. This movie also helped reaffirm my belief of crossing over.
