For me it's definitely the Dark Tower, but the Golden Compas was also a huge letdown.

Except that the first Jurassic Park movie is only one small part of the book and they never let Hammond get eaten like he was supposed to.

Endless disappointment on that front, but I still love the movies.

Oh, I didn't mean it was perfect, just acceptable. lol

I'm still holding out for a streaming mini-series that is a 1:1 adaptation of the book. I just can't let that dream go.

I agree it is acceptable, I don't often miss an opportunity for a marathon- it just isn't really true to the book, it's more like bits of the book are scattered throughout the movies.

And I'm really upset that Hammond didn't get eaten cause that would have been awesome.
