2) Any movie that's based on a fairly popular and enjoyable series of books and still manages to suck

As a teen, I read every single sci-fi novel I could get my hands on, and finished every single book or series, no matter how bad they were. With the exception of Battlefield Earth. It was, in my opinion then, by far the worst I had ever read.

I haven't touched it in many years, but I always think to myself re: scientology: "If I decided to join a new religion, wouldn't I pick a religion where the creator of the religion & living Messiah was at least GOOD AT HIS CHOSEN PROFESSION?!?!" Assuming Jesus was a carpenter (this is debated), wouldn't you at least figure he was a REALLY GOOD CARPENTER? I know I wouldnt pick as my messiah a guy who made crappy chairs & barrels for a living.
