And till now, I've felt like some movies look like nothing compared to the original books or they may have disappointed you seriously somehow.
My list includes, Harry Potter series, Maze Runner and The Golden Compass.
Those movies were alright for those who have never read the books. But the readers realize how much the movie is different and how they've spoiled the concept.

Which movie adaptations disappointed you the most?

I can say that directors can't satisfied a book reader by their movies. Because the detailed discrption can't be covered up totally in movies. Like you said I didn't read harry potter books before i watch the movie, after I seen the movie I had a chance to read the book. Then I realize disapoidisated the movies are... Only very few directors satisfy the readers.

Yeah..the details can't be covered up. that doesn't mean they've got to forgo all the crucial details and cover them up or modify the whole story into something else.
