On another note, movies that have been a pale comparison to the book.

Hitchhikers Guide springs to mind, and the aforementioned Dune, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (both), A Wrinkle in Time, John Carter of Mars.

Didn't get, nor enjoyed neither the book or film of Hitchhikers guide ...hands up don't shoot me! (husband and no:1 son loved it)
Charlies choc factory had a remake with Johnny Depp...never saw it...was it better than the original?

Hitchhiker would be a great remake

Liked the first Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but not the Jonny Dipp version. Jon Carter and Wrinkle in time = not a clue

Have you seen the TV series? Still stands up strongly IMO - especially the "computer graphics" which were actually done by stop-motion animation but still look better than the real computer graphics used in the film...

To be fair, the TV series had the advantage of being essentially a direct adaptation of the original radio series (which of course pre-dates the books...   ), and retained most of the cast: IIRC, the only significant change was Sandra Dickinson being brought in to play Trillian.
