A man running a little behind schedule arrives at the cinema, goes in to watch the movie that has already started, and as his eyes adjust to the darkness, he is surprised to see a dog sitting beside its master in the row ahead, intently watching the movie.
It even seemed to be enjoying the movie: wagging its tail in the happy bits, drooping its ears at the sad bits, and hiding its eyes with its paws at the scary bits.
After the movie, the man approaches the dog's owner, "Wow, your dog really seemed to enjoy the movie. I'm amazed!"
"Yes, I can't believe it myself," came the reply. "He hated the book."
Side note: I have yet to see a movie that rivaled the book it was adapted from.

The only one that I can think of is "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" - great movie, book not so much.

Field of Dreams. Book was Shoeless Joe and not nearly as good.

The Godfather was the closest.
