The Dark is Rising. They took a brilliantly written book about a boy living in England in the 50's or 60's (they dont say exactly when) with a big family, learning that he has mystical powers and is part of an ancient circle of the Light, and that he will have to fight the powers of the Dark. And re-wrote it to be a modern-day story about a whiny emo teen in America, changed the characters so much they werent even recognizable as the characters in the book any more, and basically re-wrote half the plot. I cried when i saw the trailer, just thinking that a whole generation of kids were going to associate this absolute dross with the title "The Dark is Rising", instead of Susan Cooper's award-winning books.

I was originally pissed about the movie as they fooked everything up from the story, even simple stuff like who made Lestat (which was magnus, not marius)
but if you let all that stuff go it was a pretty decent flick.
Much better than the fruity twighlight movies that ruined the whole vamp genre.

My wife says the Eragon film was a travesty.
I always thought the Eaters of the Dead movie was hugely disappointing.

I'm here now.
Eragon was a piece of garbage. I don't think they could have done worse but I read somewhere that Paolini got a nice movie check and took his sister to disneyland.
