Hmm im sure theres plenty of these but off the top of my head The mothman prophecies.
I was really excited to see this think how chilling it would of been, but instead it just dragged
I've seen the Langoliers it was a cool idea but the characters were really dumb especially that little blind girl and the fat guy that kept saying "lets go have some food" god they're trapped in another time and all he could think of was food what an idiot
Also it was a good idea to do SW prequels but they suck
If they actually had just stuck with the book, it would have been a kick ass movie. Michael Crichton isn't a successful author for nothing. Most of the movies that are derived from his books always stray from it so badly that it ends of ruining the movie. Well, mostly for people who have read the book, like me.
Harry Potter. I love the books (read them about 7 times each) butthe movies are just terrible. Azkaban look okay, though, it's probably cuz it's a diffn't director
Velvet Goldmine. I still cannot work out why anything so well-acted, beautifully shot, and very well produced, could have ended up as such a mediocre film.

I thought 'Unbreakable' was a great idea for a movie. Yet when I came to watch it I found it dull and boring. How they managed that with Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson I just don't know.

I think any Stephen King book-to-movie (or telemovies) were a good concept, but very few made the grade. I admit, I liked 'The Green mile,' 'The Stand' and both versions of 'the shining', but others just bored me after a time, 'thinner', 'it', 'the tommyknockers' ... need I say more?
