The Algebraist
Seriously, sci-fi epic that includes the most ridiculous villian I have ever encountered, warlord Archimandrite Luseferous of the Starveling Cult. The man has all of his teeth replace with diamonds, in order to have the most impressive grille in the universe. He is introduced in a scene where he is using the severed head of a rebel leader, who is attached to cables funneling nanobots and fluids for regeneration, as a punching bag, kills another assassin by genetically modifying his teeth to continue growing to eventually curve and pierce his brain, is hinted to have have had brain surgery in order to make himself more evil, is able to cum truth serum and various poisons/venoms and is strongly hinted to be sexually aroused by nuclear explosions.

That sounds hilarious. And sounds like it could be the best MST3K movie ever?

That's what I mean by it better be done right. I think the reason I enjoyed The Hunger Games movie as much as I did, is that I didn't read the books until the major casting was done and a few photos had been released, so the movie was my mental picture while I was reading.

This is why sometimes I prefer to see movies before reading books because the books make me angry at the movies. Especially if I had just read the book and all of the details are fresh in my head. Except for most of LotR because oh my goodness there were way too many details, but even so, some things still irked me. (Mostly the huge presence of Arwen, who is barely in the books.) Some changes I find unnecessary and others to be critical mistakes.
I mean, movies are fun, but most of the magic of books is what happens in your head. The words just guide your imagination and let it take off.
