After reading Pet Cemetery I made the mistake of watching the movie again. I was disappointed that so much was left out of the movie.

I had to explain things several times to my husband (who hasn't read them) throughout the movie, where I didn't need to do that with either Divergent or Insurgent.
I totally agree the last movie was a travesty, didn’t follow the book in the slightest. 😡

I will never not troll the Fifty Shades of Grey films when given the opportunity. The amount of cringe in the first film alone could fill up the Grand Canyon and leave zero air bubbles. Not saying it shouldn't have been made into a movie, but the chemistry of the cast and the settings of the atmosphere needed a little bit more time and work.

The Mortal Instruments and Percy Jackson was two of the worst movie adaptations I have ever watched.

Well the biggest disappointment i have come across is probably the percy Jackson movies. they were a joke and should be erased from our memories.
