I hated the two made for TV Terry Pratchett adaptations of Colour of Magic and Going Postal. Like, they pissed me off so hard I couldn't sleep. Particularly Going Postal (my favorite Pratchett book), they couldn't have missed the point of it any harder even if they tried.

The Wrinkle in Time movie, think Oprah was in it. Haven't seen it, heard it's horrendous.

American Gods
The first season of the TV series is a banger, but the subsequent seasons suffer from a decline in quality. Also, the series finale is just so disappointing compared to the ending of Gaiman's novel.
That's sad. I liked the TV version of Good Omens better than the book, and I was hoping American Gods would be similarly good.

I don't know if it's the worst, but I am very disappointed with the movie adaptation of Mortal Engines. The series has such a rich world to explore and very good plot points that would have been amazing to see on the big screen.
The movie ruined any possibility to see a sequel or even a reboot in a very long time (similar to what happened with His Dark Materials), although the fandom now prefers that if there is another attempt at an adaptation it has to be a TV series and animated.
Are you referring to the Golden Compass movie or series? The movie was trash, but I thought the TV series they've been doing has been pretty good.
For me Ender's game was a massive disappointment. I also didn't like the hobbit trilogy. Huge fan of LOTR, but the hobbit movies just didn't do it for me.
