Book Vs. Movie 2-28-10
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005): A great disappointment as they spent far too long showing him ride around on a broomstick with a dragon than in the hedge maze at the end. I understand they can't fit everything into a movie but they could have done better.
Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-03): Amazing. Saddened that certain things didn't make it into the films (Tom Bombadil.. the Barrow Wights) but it was a perfect trilogy.
The Lovely Bones (2009): Contrary to LOTR, Peter Jackson bombed this movie. Although the book was almost all a narrative, it would be hard to make an interesting movie from the book, which was proved. Not his fault
Twilight (2008): A very good book, a mediocre movie. The characters were cast very badly but the script did a good job

Popular Movies I Hated 2-21-10
Austin Powers (1997)
Jumper (2008)
Donnie Darko (2001)
Schindler's List (1993)
