I didn't mind Cujo so much, but with that particular book I happened to watch the movie first. In those situations, I don't tend to be bothered as much with inconsistencies and such.rssllue wrote:Another one is Cujo. The movie lacked so much of what made the book so appealing when I first read it. It was sometimes very painful to watch.
Now, with The Running Man, (from when Stephen King was still writing under his pseudonym) I was thoroughly disappointed in the movie.
Another horrible adaptation was The Stepford Wives(2004 film). The novel by Ira Levin wasn't the best, but it wasn't bad either. It was good enough for me to want to see the movie. Now, I haven't seen the original movie from 1975, but I liked the cast in the most recent adaptation, so I chose to watch that one. I think they were trying to just make it funny, where in reality that just ruined the story for me.
