What adaptations have been improved by changing or removing the viewpoint character or narrator?

Inspired by the secret about The Princess Bride.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is "The Devil Wears Prada." I hated the inside of that girl's head so much! The movie was a thousand times more enjoyable for me.

The Hunger Games movies worked much better not in first person.

Agree. The books feel like awkward adaptations of the movies to me, rather than the other way around.

Honestly I really hate first and second person. I can't immerse myself in a story told that way.

First thing that came to mind. The first movie might have gotten away with it but holy hell definitely not the rest.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about movie adaptations. Ignore that previous post.

Too bad the movies also removed everything that was good about the books and murdered several of the main the themes as well.

A Clockwork Orange. The book was a pain in the ass to get through.

Yeah but the movie ending totally ruins the whole thing

Oh, I dunno. I could see what Burgess was trying to do with Chapter 21 and yet he's written Alex as so thoroughly sociopathic for 20 chapters that the idea of him reforming in any way rings rather hollow.

It's certainly not, like, psychologically realistic. But it's just so important thematically that the book is not just a portrait of a bad man.

I liked the Coraline movie better than the book.
