This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood's ever seen.

This also comes back to the "why?" game so many kids play. Parents get annoyed by it, but are they really annoyed at the game or their lack of knowledge depth?
I used to think this as well, until I had a three-year-old. One day she yelled under the bathroom door, "WHY ARE YOU POOPING??" I've realized that young kids may ask "why" more often to annoy and test social boundaries instead of actually trying to learn something. When she does ask "why" in order to learn, it's fun explaining and teaching her. But it's not as often as I thought it would be.
A few months ago, I was outside blowing bubbles with my 4 year old. She moved on to something else, but I kept it up for a while. I forgot how fun it is to watch them fly off and see how far they go!
In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, starring Jason Statham and Ron Perlman. I saw it in theaters. When the evil army started loading their ninja turtle orcs into the catapults, setting them on fire, and launching them over Definitely-Not-Helm's-Deep, the audience started cracking up and openly making fun of it. It was a terrible movie.
