Stephen King adaptations can go either way. Some great ones: Shawshank, Stand By Me, The Dead Zone

Also some stinkers...too many to mention

Belfast

Die Hard. The book it's based on ended with the lead character dropping his stepdaughter off the building.

Frank Sinatra played the same character in another adaptation in the late 60s so they had to offer him the lead role in Die Hard.

When he turned it down they changed the script and invented John McClane and the greatest Christmas movie ever was the result

Fight club was a lot better then the source material it came from as was blade runner (that's a bit of a cheat the movie was very loosely based off a short story called do android dream of electric sheep?)

The godfather also.

More graphic doesn't mean better. There's no way they could've made the the film as violent as the book

It's a matter of opinion of course, but I thought the film was far superior. It has the benefit of an equally hilarious and terrifying Christian Bale performance
