Top Ten Most Overrated Movies Based On Books

The Top Ten
1 Twilight

A moody, entitled girl with no emotions (Bella Swan, played by Kristen Stewart) goes to a rainy town where she meets a pervert vampire (Robert Pattison, playing Edward) and a stupid wherewolf who takes his shirt off a lot in order to attract teenage girls (Jacob Black, being played by Taylor Laughtner. Nothing special

I have a friend who likes the books (by the way, BURN THEM WITH FIRE TOO) and even she agrees the movies suck.

Twilight is awful in every way. How you can compare this to anything above bad is beyond me.

Awful Movie, Enough Said

2 Frozen

It was based off the snow queen, and it wasn't horrible but after a while it got boring, but the fanbase kept pushing and pushing it, until it became overrated. The only reason people like it is because the lack of "prince saves princess".

This should be like number 1! A year or more has past and people are still crazy about it.

I hated this movie so much

This should go to number 2.

3 The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Even more nauseating than the first one.

Would not cause disgust, boredom only

4 Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief

On IDMB it got 5.9/10...it should have gotten 0/10. No one could act, the storyline was nothing like the book. Christopher Columbus (the director) was pretty much inventing his own storyline, no Clarrise, Areis, Kronos, Mr. D, Grover lost all charecter development and became comic relief. I'm not sure how they are going to make the next movie considering Grover isn't going on his quest, Clarrise, who becomes important is non existent, and Luke already died. They took every character and dried them up into one dimensional charecters.

I hate Twilight, but the movies do have an excuse because the books are terrible... Being a staunch Percy Jackson fan, this movie made me want to jump from my balcony

I wonder if they had a cheap budget for this film because it absolutely sucked.

I hated that they stopped the movies before Nico Di Angelo and the Romans...then it would been better

5 The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Bella is an idiot.

Scoop More Trash

6 I Know What You Did Last Summer

4 kids slashing each other! How original! Worst slasher film ever.

Super cheesy and dumb

7 Alice In Wonderland
8 How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Sure, Jim Carrey has some funny lines in there, but the voice is annoying,the whos are terrifying, they extend the run time while trying to keep the moral intact, which is very hard to do, so anyone short of Disney could barely do it. If you have any real taste, just watch the original 26 minute T.V. special.Thatone was well-animated, kept the moral intact, had a great song in it, and was overall a better use of your Christmas time.

A good Christmas tale, but other than that it's pretty bland.

9 The Fault In Our Stars

Wait this is NOT overrated, it's actually pretty good!

I don't see anything wrong with this one.

10 The Hunger Games

Very overrated! The movies are really bad, slow, and boring! It has a super shaky-cam and it it super predictable! The plot is plain ridiculous and there is like NO character development! Everybody knows this movie and I don't see why it's famous it's just eh

The Contenders
11 Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
12 Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
13 Diary of a Wimpy Kid
14 Battlefield Earth

This movie sucks really bad

15 Carrie

WHAT IN THE WORLD? CARRIE IS VERY UNDERRATED! THERE IS LIKE NOBODY WHO KNOWS THIS MOVIE AND THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING!
