Main theme is adventure vs. responsibility, which is not present in the original and completely inappropriate for a children's book.

The Plague Dogs.

Movie has the real ending, book has the happy ending forced by the publisher.

>>85461097
This is the most correct answer

>Movie has the real ending, book has the happy ending forced by the publisher.
funny, I would say it is usually the other way around.

It's only loosely based off the book but, Blade Runner is way better than its book couterpart.

How about movies that are equal to their books, being no better or worse?

Most Stephen King adaptations are better than the books, even the shitty made-for-tv ones.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

All of the Philip K. Dick movies are better than the book.

PKD was a great ideas guy, but a pretty terrible author.

As somebody who watched the movie and read the book, pic related definitely qualifies IMO

No way. The film is good but the book is great.

Lawnmower Man

The original short story was fucking terrible. The movie was so different that lawyers had them change the name from "Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man" to just "The Lawnmower Man". Oh, the story was about a man who hired a some guy to mow his grass. The guy agrees but tells him not to look. Well the man looks of course and sees that the man is butt naked running around the back yard eating the grass like a madman, he has also transformed into a satyr-like looking demon thing. It doesn't end well.
