The Worst and the Best Book-Movie adaptations
THE WORSTS:
#1: 50 Shades of Grey
Considered the worst movie of 2015, 50 Shades of Grey was certainly a disappointment. The great book that sold millions and millions of copies had enchanted men and women all around the world, with magic between the lines, able to feel sorry for the unreal characters, to feel the pain that he/she is feeling. An awesome job by E. L. James. When the movie was announced, the fans went crazy; and the expectation was really high, but when the movie came out…….. The actors did a horrible job, showing absolutely no emotion when performing. We could not see, or feel what the actors were feeling, which is crucial for a movie to be good. The writers I think were even worst, taking out important dialogues that were in the book, and missing important details.The movie will certainly be something to forget, but not the book.
#2 The Giver:
The Giver must be one of the best books ever written, with passion, mystery, action, adventure, suspense, agony, everything. But the movie was absolutely terrible. The actors were kind of ok, but the director........ that was HORRIBLE. In the movie when is everything "normal" (how it always was) everything is in black and white! It makes absolutely no sense! But when the main character starts having emotions, only he is colorful and everything is black and white! It will be so strange if you loved the book and than you watch the movie. Somethings made absolutely no sense, there were characters missing and the ending was to simple, compared to the book. Lois Lowry made the work of his life and the writers and directors managed to ruin everything. The Giver should always be remembered as a book and never as movie.
THE BESTS:
#1 The Martian:
I really need to say something? That movie was fantastic! The book is awesome! I think that Matt Damon did the performance of his life! Of course DiCaprio was better, but Matt deserved not more, not less than the honor to be nominated for the 88
th Academy Awards! Making an adaptation from such a good book is really risky (you see what happened to 50 Shades of Grey), but Ridley Scott did it! The movie can show you in the big screen what the author was trying to say when he wrote the book. The book keeps us entertained, and wanting to finish it in one day, but we also don't want the book to end. That's how we also feel about the movie. That's how you know that you are reading a great book, and watching an awesome movie.
#2: Hunger Games
The Hunger Games trilogy was originally written to be a juvenille trilogy, but with time, people from all ages starting to fall in love with this book. The book comes with multiples surprises, disappointments and passion. Enchanting kids and elders from all around the world. What happens when a book is a world best-seller? They make a movie! Does this movies always comes as good as the books? Of course (50 Shades of Grey) not! But sometimes when the book author helps in the movie, it can really translate the words into images in the big screen. That was what Suzane Collins did, giving information on every single scene of every single movie. The movie became more popular than the book, and than when fans heard that their favorite movie was based on a book...... Money to Ms. Collins. This movie was an impact on every single actor that performed. But mainly J. Lawrence, who after this movie, was seen as the great actress she is.
CONTROVERSIAL:
#The Only One: Harry Potter
Harry Potter, by J.K Rowling must be one of the most controversial book-movie adaptations EVER. Some people might say that the writers and directors didn't couldn't capture the magic that the book brings you, some might say that they were fantastic, but I will leave this one up to you! Comment down below: Do you think that Harry Potter was a good book-movie adaptation?

Have you ever imagined what would it be like if all your actions were controlled by little people called emotions? Well, Disney have. The movie tells the story of a young girl called Riley. She is now moving from Minnesota to San Francisco, and how will the emotions react when she can't play hockey anymore, or she is made fun of in school, when she has no friends? Joy, Anger, Fear, Disgust and Sadness will have to find a way through. But then a terrible accident happen. Joy and Sadness are lost in the brain. How will Riley react without this two main emotions? Only watching you will see.
