IMHO, most movies that are based on a pre-existing book are horrible. Not as movies per se, but compared to the book. Hunt for Red October by Tom Clancy jumps into my head imediately. The movies is supposed to be good, but the book is excellent. Not sure if I even dare watch the movie, other movies based on Jack Ryan were most horrible compared to the book. Clear and Present Danger is aweful as movie especially the bad actor choice for John Kelly a.k.a. John Clark. I could not even stand to finish Patriot Games as movie. Any of those are really good as books.
