Top 10 Movies Adapted from Other Media That Were Nothing Like We Expected

Whether it comes from a TV show, a book, a video game, or more, this list is about which ones were the most unexpected.

The Top Ten

  1. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

    There were so many differences between this and the book series, it's hard to ignore.

  2. How to Train Your Dragon (2010)

    There are so many changes from the book series. Maybe even more than Percy Jackson. This just hit less since the story was so good.

  3. Dora and the Lost City of Gold

    It was so confusing to see Dora in live action. Not only that, but she was surprisingly mature.

  4. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Sea of Monsters

    There were a lot of differences between this and the books. The prophecy hit me the most.

    Wait, no. It's Kronos. Why did they do that?

  5. Super Mario Bros. (1993)

    I haven't watched it, but I've heard so much about it, like what the plot is like. Besides, that Koopa? We did not expect that.

  6. The Last Airbender

    I've only seen the live action TV series, but I'm sure we didn't expect this from the anime.

  7. Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory

    It was so dark. Why was it so dark? Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a happy book.

    Also, this got contradicted later on with Wonka.

  8. A Minecraft Movie

    We did not expect the mobs to look like that at all. We also didn't expect the movie to be so stupid.

    It was good, though.

  9. The Addams Family (1991)

    Considering what I've heard about the original series, it was really different. Supposedly, the original series is not for kids.

  10. Ender's Game

    The graphics just felt off when compared to the book. Like, way off.
