harry's staff -- carved from a lightning struck tree from the property of his mentor, iirc, and carved with various runes -- is replaced with a hockey stick

bob the skull -- a constructed sprit of intellect bound to a skull -- is now a ghost of some guy

Dune.

Turning the Bene Gesserit power of Voice into some weird gun was fucking stupid.

Edit to add: first film adaptation from the 80s. The latest movies have been good.

I'd say Moonraker, which might be my favourite of the first books, but the movie adaptation keeps little more than the title and changes pretty much everything else (and as a result ends up being quite bad, receiving noticeably lukewarm reviews and nowadays often appearing in lists of worst Bond films ever).

After reading American Psycho, having first seen the movie, I was retroactively disappointed that they did not have every character dress like literal clowns that all looked identical, the way the book exaggerates.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I'm a little surprised at that response because American Psycho is one of the most true to the source material movies I've ever seen. Whole passages were lifted and turned directly into dialog. Sure all of those white men were supposed to be corporate clones in the books but in a movie characters have to be visually distinct that's just the nature of the mediums

All the WTFery in that War of the Worlds thing Amazon just crapped out.

Not a movie, but everything about the wheel of time show was a travesty.
