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

    Pretty much every movie based on a Crichton novel except the first Jurassic Park and the original 1971 adaptation of The Andromeda Strain. Every other one has been awful (including The Lost World which is so far from the book it shouldn’t even get to be called “based on”).

    Edit: After sleeping on it, I don’t know if the movie adaptations are objectively awful or if I was just unimpressed because I read the novel first for all of them.

      I’ve never watched Disclosure nor finished the book, but it seems like one of the few they should have been able to get right.

      I enjoyed Sphere, but I haven’t read the book and watched the movie close enough to compare them.
