Great novel bad movie

Post by VAwkOb12 »

Do you think that movies with the same name as their novels give the novels with the same name a bad name.

Example twilight movie bad but twilight novel good

Can you think of any more? If so let me know down below?

The biggest gap between movie and book: The Scarlet Letter. On one hand, it is one of the few genuine masterpieces of American literature. It is also a horrible train wreck of a film starring the woefully miscast Demi Moore.
