The Top Best and Worst Book Adaptations of All Time :


Best :
Hunger Games
This beloved book adored by teens all around, it has everything fighting, a heroine and a great plot line. However what makes this book the best Adaptation is the way the characters and setting is incorporated into the movie scene. The characters were well casted with the majority of the cast being how I pictured them to be. The scenery and setting was hard to picture it was gloomy, but with hope and the time was a post-apocalyptic America, with each city having different resources, they scenery in each place and the arena was extremely hard to picture, and the director took what I personally saw and put it on screen.
Worst :
Twilight saga
This movie frequently gets bashed, but it’s the acting that makes it so bad. The book holds the main character Bella swan to be this complex girl whose thoughts translate her emotion and what’s going on in the world beautifully. However the cast was poorly casted having her be some mentioned thinking girl, that nobody (the viewers) likes. Also the dialogue is very rough and harsh between Bella and Edward in the book, making their romance just seem weird, however in the book the dialogue has more of a flow to it.
Best :
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
This movie really brought the adventure of harry potter in a great light, the way the magical double decker was perceived, in the beginning of the book, was extremely hard to picture while reading it, however the movie greatly visualized what J.K. Rowling was trying to show. Also the boggar lesson was extremely funny it showed the fun side of magic and the hilarity of the scene that the book was unable to show. Also with added music and looks of terror on the students face made magic of morphing something scary into something
Worst : Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate Events.
The Books had a lot of fun information, like pages going on and on with one word, interrupted side commentary that helped you enjoy the book even more. However the Movie just plane out stunk it was rushed, there was three books, which took you six hours each book to read, all condensed into a two hour movie. Like that is just crazy! This Was the All time worst adaptation for me.

  1. I agree with you on the best/worst adaptations! I didn't even think about Lemony Snickets Series of Unfortunate events and I agree it is a bad adaptation from the book to the film.
