The Chronicles of Narnia
Why are most great novels destroyed by Hollywood?
Harry Potter and the Half Blooded Prince was a dynamite book, but the movie was made for the youthful generation by making Dumbledore want to read a muggle magazine, and have corny jokes about being young and romantic. They also left out some important scenes at the end of the movie, including the fight in Hogwarts between the death eaters and harry and co., and the all important funeral of dumbledore.
Another novel ruined by Hollywood was children of men, the novel talked about all the men being infertile for a number of years. Since Hollywood decided it was a good enough story, they decided to make it impossible for both men and women to be incapable of reproducing. Another novel gone bad.
The last novel gone Hollywood was Prince Caspian. I love a good action movie but when it takes away from an adventure novel, like this one, it is not necessary to change a great family novel into another action, stereotypical herioc film.
All i can say is im going to stop reading books because when they do become films, 9/10 it is a bad representation of the great novel.
