LoveWitchLoki I like them all except for Harry Potter on your list. I don't see how people could like those movies.
I'm sure the books are good, it's just that the films are despicable.
Not saying the director didn't do a good enough job. I can image a lot worse, but attempting to turn a book into a movie's pretty much the same as shouting out to all the critics with a megaphone, "KILL ME NOW."
Pete Jackson did quite a good job with The Lord of the Rings though, I must say. That guy really doesn't hold back with the props and everything, does he? King Kong was awesome, too.
They're making two sequels to the remake. I don't know how they're going to pull that off, but if they do, I swear I will love Peter Jackson forever. Though I'm not sure if they noticed -- Kong died at the end of the first film.

It's currently being filmed in the UK. I just read something online about book-to-screen movies. A screenwriter of the upcoming Halo movie(200 cool said this: "999 out of 1000 times, a book doesn't make the cut for a movie. It needs to be changed."(or something along those lines.) Yea...right. I don't believe that. My thoughts are this: They think they can do better than the author by changing the story up but, instead, they create a disaster.

One reads a book like Harry Potter, or The Lord of the Rings that has so much content in it. Then they're asked to turn it into a movie. How much time are they given? Ninety minutes, two hours, three at the most.
Especially with such chunky things as J.R.R. Tolkien's work, a lot has to be cut out to make that time. As I said, I think Peter Jackson did a great job with that trilogy. He knew exactly what to leave in, and what to keep out.
The director of The Chronicles of Narnia really did have his work cut out for him. That book was so thin and straightforward that all he had to do was direct it. Not many decisions to make about the content, at least compared to the other films out there.
I believe that when a director approaches a book that they want to turn into a movie, they do have some tough challenges to face. You're right about them wanting and thinking that they can make the movie better, but that might not be the case in all situations.

I see what you mean when you mention time as a factor. That can make it tought, and things need to be cut. But I'm focused more on what they change. Like the upcoming Eragon movie. 20th Century Fox has changed a lot. Even Christopher Paolini said something about it. That they changed things in the movie to make it look "as real as possible." But they changed Furthen Dur up pretty bad. From looking at pictures of the set, it isn't even underground!

Underground to surface world's quite a big change. In circumstances like those, it's hard to see what good comes out of the difference.
That just makes me appreciate what Pete Jackson did for The Lord of the Rings even more. I still remember seeing the Shire for the first time. That was awesome. And the mines of Moria? Balin's tomb? Even better.
The music they put in there to accompany the visuals was amazing, too. They just fit so well together.

The third one sucked. Just like its new director.
Enough said.

Do not watch the third.
It's seriously a waste of two hours. You could be on Gaia, breathing life into this guild.
