Probably the fact that Paltrow isn’t really all that great if an actress and shouldn’t be in period pieces. Combined with Hollywood’s apparent inability to really do much with that genre without altering it for mass consumption. It messes with the story too much.

The Dark Tower. Eragon (but the books weren’t great anyway). Where the Wild Things Are. The Lorax. The Cat in the Hat. How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The Shining. Several versions of A Christmas Carol. King Soloman’s Mines.

I’m a Hitchhiker and a Discworlder, and I visit the Dark Tower with fair regularity. Those are the places I hide most.

Little House on the Prairie. I was devouring books. Got it for Xmas one year. Family thought it’d last all year. Lol. Barely lasted through March.
