Well so far the Percy Jackson movie is at a bad start. The commercials as short as they are I found two problems already. One, Grover is not black and Annabeth's hair is BLOND.

Gotta go with Street Fighter. They got almost every characters backstory and personality wrong and just made a complete mess of it. They made Dhalsim a freekin scientist! That would be like making Luigi a punk rock doctor.

did you know they are making a Deadpool movie with Ryan Reynlods and its going to be him in costume with his witty humor and 4th wall breaking?

although it was really inacurate i enjoyed that Xmen film much more than the others.
I saw the leaked version a month before it came out in theaters, neither version impressed me much.

I suspect you will be quoted a great deal for this.

And rightly so.
It makes you wonder just who thought such a movie good idea.

Are you really telling me Goombas look like that and you couldn't find anything better to use as a de-evolution gun other than some light guns from a Super Nintendo with some different colors?

league of extraordinary gentleman - so much was lost in translation from book to movie, in the book there was; no dorian gray, no tom sawyer, invisible man was a dick, mina wasn't a vampire and quatermain rocks.

I Am Legend. The ending is completely different.
Blame the masses at preview night. They saw the real ending and they said it wasn't friendly enough or something. Basically the people that saw it were mad that the good guy was not such a good guy, so
self-sacrifice was chosen instead of persecution by the race he killed
.

It is literally not a single thing like the book at all and yet for some mysterious reason they advertised the movie as 'Stephen King's' Running Man. Pity, because the book would make for a fantastic movie... they'll never make it though. The ending would be way too controversial!

Precisely. Plus the graphic novel didn't suck enormous leathery balls.

The Max Payne adaptation was only barely related to the source material.

Oh yeah? Well I read the <a href=http://www.destructoid.com/the-super-mario-bros-movie-children-s-book-61945.phtml>book adaptation of the movie.

I may have been fascinated (perhaps morbidly so) enough with it as a kid to finish the book, but now it haunts me.

Harry Potter.

Given that I'm going through them in order and have reached the 3rd, that's the one currently making me want to claw my eyes out in hatred, but I kno for a certain fact 4 will be worse, and 5 may actually make me physically sick.
