Top Ten Best/Worst Book to Movie Adaptations

toptentuesday

This is a late post, but I’m gonna do it! No preamble, here we go!

BEST

The Hunger Games – This one snuck up on me. I really didn’t think I’d like it, because I didn’t like the books. But wow this movie. I enjoyed it a lot.

The Harry Potter Movies – Okay, some of them. Certainly not all of them. But a lot of them. Some of them depend on my mood.

The Da Vinci Code – I just enjoy the National Treasure esque feel it gives. But, you know, for adults. 😛

Pride and Prejudice – Only seen the Keira version, but wowza. I enjoyed that one.

P.S. I Love you – ALL OF THE TEARS.

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief – I never read the book, but I heard some fans were unhappy about it. I enjoy it solely as a movie my brothers and I laugh at together.

WORST

Twilight – Nuff said.

The Host – Best part of this movie was ripping it up with Michaela from The Pied Piper Calls.

Nancy Drew – Hopefully, you don’t remember the Emma Roberts version of this. If you do, I feel your pain.

Avalon High – Just. No. And no.

    I thought the Harry Potter adaptations were good! I enjoyed watching them. I wasn’t as keen on P.S I love you as an adaptation. Great list!

  2. I think I’m the only person in the world who hated The Hunger Games as a movie. I just thought it was boring and the fight scenes were too tame! And Peeta…errr just no.

  3. I didn’t even know Avalon High was made into a movie… but I guess I should just be thankful about that.

    I love The Da Vinci Code for the same reason! Except, no Nick Cage, which is totally fine with me! haha

    Oh, my gosh, Gretchen watch the BBC miniseries P&P with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth! It is SO MUCH BETTER! I hate the one with Keira Knightly. I mean, Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy? So much YES.
