Titanic
All three Harry Potter movies- one and two were just... Oi. The magic seemed like it was on exhibit, and the films were just. So. Cheery. The third film had more of the book's feel, but... Eh. I didn't enjoy the movie that much. Hermione-Sue, Buffon!Ron, Little girl-like!Draco... >_< Steven Kloves may have gotten the tone and feel right, this time 'round, but he killed the characters (though, according to something I heard, it was Cuaron who changed the characters... Kloves' original script was quite different).
Troy. Good film, but come on. People died at the wrong times, the romatic relationships were completely off, the characters were changed (Helen=twelve years old, didn't like Paris, was kidnapped by Paris, who was aided by Aphrodite)...
The Matrix: Reloaded. I am a huge Matrix fan, but the second movie was <i>awful</i>. The Wachowsis spent more time working on the mythological and historical references than on the acting or plot. Don't get me wrong, I love how they put those references into the films (Persephone! Merovingian! Eee!), but I'd sooner have a good movie than a weirdly-put-together one. I did like the third movie (for some reason), though, even if a lot of questions went unanswered.
Most children's movies. Sappy, bad acting, and Mary Sues galore. And people wonder why Mary Sues exist. Snow White, Cinderella, hello!

this is a child friendly version of what the book COULD have been. The book was totally too mature and icky for me. I didnt care much for the cursing and talk of personal parts.
Medli, I don't mean to be rude, but there's a reason there's cursing and talk of 'personal parts'- the books were written for teens. That's why many people didn't like the movies- not only were they so different from the books that it was like they had made new characters and given them the original character's names (hey, even Mia didn't like the first movie, according to one of her journal entries in the books!), the characters were so unlike the teens of today, it was scary.
