American Psycho while not bad as a black comedy was a completely pointless adaptation. it was nothing like the book. then again you couldn't make a film of the book as it is. It wouldn't get rated
The Harry Potter books, easily. The books tell one of the finest stories you can find in the medium whereas the movies adapt it into an entirely mediocre story.
I gotta say "The Neverending Story", Jesus, did they veer way off. What a good way to butcher a good book. Still like the movie, for nostalgic reasons, haha.

i respectfully disagree
i think they did and excellent job adapting JK Rowling's vision of the wizarding world to the big screen and thought they were able to fit a good amount of the plot and characters into the story
you cant expect them to be able to fit a book as big as Order of the Pheonix[which was the biggest in the series at around 870 pages] into a two hour movie
worst adaption i would say was probably Percy Jackson as of late because they changed so much from the books but i understand why they did so, like changing Grover completely and taking a lot away from Percy's stay in Camp Half Blood plus the trip to the Underworld
yeah that one wasnt very good.another bad one I dont like is Christine.Before I read the book,I liked the movie but after reading the book,I dont like the movie so much anymore because it could have been so much better if they had done some of the things that were in the book.No reason that they couldnt have.
I disagree with The Princess Bride. I thought that it was faithfully adapted, but with some non-crucial subplots omitted.
Gotta agree with Jaden. American Psycho was not a very good adaptation, but only because the novel was ten times more graphic. The film would never have been released had it been faithfully adapted.
I'm gonna say, for my own entry, Coraline. I felt that the film was too bright and friendly. Also, the male friend, Wybie, was a very needless character who was not even in the book, FFS. The novel Coraline is a supremely written work of surreal fiction by Neil Gaiman, and I feel that film, while beautifully made in stunning stop motion, just did not do the book justice.
