It's crazy to see how many times this happens. If they're not gonna tell the story that matters, why bother?

Yeah they introduced a second guy... what the actual fuck. I purged most of the film from memory because I was so let down.

I didn't enjoy Ready Player One movie either and for that - purged also.

I appreciate the rage. Now we are soul bonded for eternity. Almost always when a movie doesn't live up to the book I can forgive it because I know I must have impossible expectations. But in this case they just went ahead and told a completely different story and I will never comprehend why.

I think mine’s Z for Zachariah. The book is insane. A psychological survivalist thriller between a 14 year old girl and a strange man with unknown intent. The movie is… not this. They changed everything meaningful about the characters and lost all the tension. Hope someone does it properly one day. What’s your adaptation peeve?
