This meaning, a movie that you’ve seen that is based on books (e.g. the Harry Potter movies) that are not like the books

Either the Percy Jackson movies or the Divergent movies. They were just horrible and hard to watch. I am one to rant about how inaccurate many movies adaptations are, much to the annoyance of my family and these ones definitely cause much anger.
I would say World War Z, while the movie was just an ok zombie movie, it did diverge a lot from the source material. The book was completely different and if adapted again into live action. It would be better off as a tv series.
By far, Ender's Game. That needs to be redone, it is such a cool cool book. Maybe it would work better as a series. But also, Dune, Lord of the Rings, GOT... the books are much much better. I read GOT some 1yr before the series was out, tried to watch the series, got upset and gave up. Tried again some 2 years later, and I forgot enough from the books to watch the series without being annoyed. If you don't read the books, it's ok, but otherwise...grrr... I have high hopes from the new Dune, but we shall see.
