I would have to say one of the worse movie adaptations I've ever seen. Actually it's also one of the worst movies I've ever seen: Battlefield Earth.
The book was just straight-on pulpy sci-fi. The movie was horrible. One of the few movies that I wanted to walk out on. I didn't walk out on it because I thought it might get better. To this day I wish I would have walked out on it. Really. I feel so bad that I sat through the whole thing.
The director was really out there on this one. He decided to go for weird camera angles, bluish lighting, hammy acting. Not even up to the level of "so bad it's good or so bad it's funny."
Ick.
Best movie adaptation in regards to nailing the book exactly would have to be "No Country for Old Men." I read the book after seeing the movie, and a lot of the stuff was word for word. Book and movie were awesome.
