I can think of a few movies that weren't a disappointment - "The Hunger Games," "Sense and Sensibility," "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," "Life of Pi." Yes, some book-based movies are pretty terrible, but there are also ones that were good. Not all book based movies will inevitably fail. A few can surprise you and be good! :)
I also don't agree that Hollywood is "out to sell tickets to those who are to lazy to read." Most of the people who buy tickets to see the show are interested because they have read the book and liked it.
But I have to agree that I do think that the Giver is going to be a disappointment. Darn, I was excited.
