I generally hate it when my favorite books are made into movies. The Lord of the Rings is a perfect example. I understand when they have to cut 2/3 of the book out, but Peter Jackson didn't like the way Tolkien did some things so he just changed them. Like having the elves come save the day at Helm's Deep instead of the Ents and Huorns. The elves had been withdrawing from contact with other races for thousands of years, had been slowly leaving middle earth, and their armies didn't leave their forests until after the Ring was destroyed.

If that were the only major change Jackson had made I could live with it, but it was one of many. Don't get me started about the orcs that could crawl walls like spider-man in Moria. Or how orcs were portrayed as much more deadly, capable fighters, and the members of the fellowship less capable fighters then they were in the books. And the list goes on and on.

So I really don't want any more of my favorite books made into movies.
