Book to Movie Adaptations

Recently I have watched three book to movie adaptations. My general rule for movie made from books is that the book is always better than the movie. So far I have not found an exception to this rule. The three adaptations I watched most recently are City of Bones, Eragon and Vampire Academy.

City of Bones was okay. I've heard many people say that it was terrible, but I honestly think it could have been a lot worse.

Eragon was quite bad. At first it seemed like it might be okay but then... it fell so far. I was pretty much shouting at it throughout the entire second half. Seriously. They could have made it so much better.

Vampire Academy was a pretty good adaptation. Though the book is honestly not one of my favourites, I think it was pretty well adapted, even though the plot was changed a bit.

Here's a list of some adaptations I've seen and a rating out of five for how well I think it was adapted. (NOTE: The rating has nothing to do with how much I liked the movie. It indicates how well I think the movie was adapted from the book.)
