Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I hated the 1940 version of Pride & Prejudice!

The clothing wasn't right for the time period, and the changed the storyline!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo was butchered by tons of movies!. The only ones I can think of right now are the Liam Neeson film, where Valjean hit Cosette, Marius and Enjorlas were the same character, and Eponine and the Thenardiers didn't exist, and the Gerard Depardieu film, where Valjean was in love with Cosette, and not just in a father-daughter way, either!.

The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien was pretty bad in the Rankin-Bass film!. I hope the new movie does better!.

The recent few Harry Potter movies had half the book cut out!. UGH!. I hope the next ones will be truer to the book!.

Eragon!. The book is kind of suckish, but that movie was dreadful!.
I thought the HP4 movie sucked too!. I can't even watch it because it's so bad!. =\ The fifth one was better, though-- they cut out all of the subplots, but at least they kept the main plot fairly intact!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
