Reflection 4: Best and Worst

I don't read very many books, so when a book I read becomes a movie, I make sure to go see it. In some cases, the book and movie work well together. But sometimes, the movie does not complement the book in any way.
Best Adaptations:
Marley and Me
This is the best adaptation that I have personally seen. The book and movie are so similar. The movie provides good visual description that the book was unable to provide. The book is non-fiction so it is easier create a movie out of it, especially if the author can contribute to the accuracy of the movie.
Some People Disagree
The Last Song
The casting for the movie really contributed to the accuracy of the book. The movie provided a good complement to the book. The story was consistant through both pieces which really leads to a great adaptation.
Harry Potter

The fantasy genre is easily adapted from book to movie. I only read the first three books of the series, but I have seen all of the movies. The movies and books corresponded well with each other. The characters were casted perfectly and the famous school of Hogwarts exceeded expectations.

Worst Adaptations:
My Sister's Keeper
The book alone is very well written. The movie was one of the biggest disappointments. For the most part, the movie was good and entertaining. But the ending was completely different and caught me off guard. Accuracy is a big component when it comes to movie adaptations and that is where this failed.
Dear John
 The book was okay so the movie did not have many expectations. The movie was even worse than the book. It had no excitement and I left the theater surprised on the quality of the movie. Any expectations I had, were not met.
