Hated Tropes An adaptation completely botches the original theme and message
Mulan(2020)-They give Mulan superpowers which is not only lame it goes against the message of the original about equality and struggle,plus they removes Shang because apparently having Mulan date her superior was "problematic" even though Shang genuienely respected Mulan and their rank was never brought up
I am Legend(2007)-You know why the story is called "I am legend"? SPOILER ALERT the protagonist is the actual monster,humanity is gone and the vampires have a actual society and the protagonist kills and terrorize them
Animal Farm(2026)-On the very slim chance that Andy Serkis ever sees this,here's the thing Andy,Animal Farm was not a children work it was not supposed to have a happy ending,you never heard of cautionary tales before?

Idk if this is the right name in English cause I only know the german name
The infinite story? (Die unendliche Geschichte)
Basically the movie ends after about half the book and thus looses the message that staying only in your fantasies isn't good either. Still a dope movie tho.
