From Artemis Fowl to The Dark Tower, these book adaptations deserve a remake, according to Reddit.
Few things delight readers more than seeing their favorite books faithfully adapted for the silver screen. However, very often movie versions stray from the source material, try to squeeze too much into too short a runtime, or are let down by poor acting and shoddy scripts.
9 'Eragon' Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle books are fun, reflecting the author's clear passion for fantasy . Unfortunately, the movie version lacks the novel's strengths and doubles down on its weaknesses, with B-movie dialogue and wooden acting."Eragon was hated by critics and audiences due to its amateur director and crammed plot," said user jmancoder.
The premise is pretty goofy but, given a proper budget, it could make for a gory comedy-horror gem. "With all the computerization, AI, and digital connectivity the story could really work in today's world. And maybe have the director do a little less cocaine this time," said user diywayne. 5 'Inkheart' The Inkheart books written by Cornelia Funke are simply wonderful. They follow a father and daughter with the power to speak stories into being whose lives intertwine with various fictional worlds and characters. Sadly, the film adaptation starring Brendan Fraser is rather rote, lacking the novel's whimsy.
"I think Divergent needs another try," said user afanoftoomanythings. "Stick closer to the books, and ACTUALLY FINISH IT THIS TIME," added Redditor Random_Introvert_42. 2 'Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole' Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole is Zack Snyder's adaptation of the books by Kathryn Lasky. It revolves around Soren , a barn owl who is kidnapped and taken to an academy where Metal Beak trains an army of bird soldiers. Soren must break free and join forces with the Guardians to thwart Metal Beak's schemes.
