Philip K Dick, the thread.
From Hell was so disappointing.
Also From Hell.
As far as the book and the movie is concerned, From Hell offers up a pretty stark contrast. I actually do understand why the film was more of a simple murder mystery versus the insane detailing of Victorian London and its class struggles that the book went into (you aren't telling the book's story in two hours), but the film added its own strange wrinkles for no real reason, like Abberline's opium addiction.
I've watched the first two eps of Man in High Castle and already it's making coherent sense and isn't boring af so it's not very faithful to the book.
Wanted is pretty different from the comic it's based on from what I remember. The movie deals with a guy finding out he's the son of an assassin but the comic is actually about a evil guy that finds out he's the son of a super villain in a world where villains rule and have killed a lot of the heroes who were DC and Marvel analogues run through the Mark Millar filter. The Angelina Jolie character plays a similar role in both but in the comic she's suppose to be a Catwoman analogue.
This right here.
It's funny that the OP's example was Jurassic Park, because my first response to the thread title was The Lost World. Levine, who was just as much a main character as Malcolm in the book, wasn't even in the movie.
It's funny, because the only reason Crichton even wrote the book was so they could make a movie based off of it, but then they completely ignored the book anyway.
Seconded. JP's movie and book adaptations have a lot of diverging branches, but the Lost World isn't even on the same tree as the book.It's funny that the OP's example was Jurassic Park, because my first response to the thread title was The Lost World.

I am Legend. Only shares the most barebones plot. Movie was awful.
Is that true? That's a creative professional's nightmare scenario.
iirc, a couple of James Bond films just use a book's title and run with a completely different story.
I love this movie. It explores emotional territory radically different from the book.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit is extremely different than the book it's based on.
Alice in Wonderland through the looking Glass,
Not gonna lie I enjoyed it more then the first movie but it's nothing based off the 2nd book.

Was also going to say World War Z. Not that they could've really made it like the book anyways.
Also, Starship Troopers.
The Maze Runner movies are nothing like the books. :/
The alternate ending makes it a lot more consistent with the book.I am Legend. Only shares the most barebones plot. Movie was awful.

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
And all the X-Men movies.
