Even though reading about Coraline on here, I haven't read the original source, I still thought it was a fantastic and dark stop motion animation.

I did not like how the movie was with the book.as for The book "Coraline" it was very different from the movie in so many ways but both are good to read and watch.

Obviously nowhere near the worst, but the most overrated easily goes to The Shining imo. Not that I think Stephen King's attempt at a movie adaptation was in any way good, I can definitely see why he didn't like Stanley Kubrick's version. It really did nothing to capture the nuances and slow and steady development and really, just about everything that was great about the book (I do realise a lot of that is to do with the difference between the two mediums).

Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief the movie, while a decent movie, is VERY different from the book and quite frankly isn't nearly as good.
