The Dune thread got me thinking: What's the best and worst adaptations from books to movies/series? My thoughts ...
Best: GoT (while following source material), The Hobbit, LOTR.
Worst: I Am Legend, Bourne Trilogy
Best: GoT (while following source material), The Hobbit, LOTR.
- All of these really leveraged solid source material. I've never had any issues with what got cut out in the adaptation and kept to the essence of the story.
Worst: I Am Legend, Bourne Trilogy
- I Am Legend not only ignored the vast majority of the storyline, it completely ignored the entire point of the story. Woof.
- The Bourne Identity and remainder of the plot assumed the subterfuge of Jason's character and just made it reality. Basically none of the movies follow any semblance of the storyline other than using the names.
