Are there any movies or shows that did a terrible job adapting the book—yet you still loved them?

So, we all know that feeling of “the book was better,” right? But, I kinda have a soft spot for a few terrible adaptations that I still ended up loving anyway (*looking at you, Percy Jackson). Am I the only one? 😂 Anyone else have that “so bad it’s good” kind of movie or show that missed the mark on the book but still feels like a guilty pleasure?
 
Oh, you’re definitely not alone! 😂 I know Eragon was a total disaster compared to the book, but for some reason, I still kinda love it. Same with The Mortal Instruments movie—it butchered the story, but I can’t help but enjoy the chaos. Sometimes, even the “bad” adaptations have their own weird charm, and I just roll with it! 🤷‍♂️🎬
