For me it's definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.

It wasn't a bad movie, I actually liked it a lot - but the book is significantly better and the movie left out a lot. If I had read the book before watching the movie I would probably have hated the movie tbh.

Also even picking that book to make into a movie was a mistake, enders game was only written to give backstory for speaker for the dead which is much better than the enders game book but never made it to becoming a movie itself

That's the story of adaptations most of the time.

I read the book first and enjoyed the movie enough to buy it.
