While any movie hoping to surpass the utter craptastic excellence that is Beowulf has a lot of work ahead of it, the new Moby Dick flick might just do it. Yes... I said, the new Moby Dick, because there has been like seven other adaptations according to Wikipedia. Go ahead and check them out if you want. I'm just going to make the assumption that they suck and be done with it. However, they surely don't have the level of suck that this new movie could be capable of.
They're going to turn Ahab into a good guy! How is that even possible? While, I've never read the novel, I've read enough about literature to know the guy is a nut... BSD is NEVER for making a character saner... that just doesn't make any sense. I'm sure I'll see this thing eventually, just because it's guaranteed to be hilariously bad.

"Tom and Jerry: Dicky Moe was directed by Gene Deitch and released in 1962. The peg-legged but unnamed Ahab-like captain of the Komquot is maniacally obsessed with hunting the great white whale Dicky Moe."
Much love to Tom and Jerry, but yes. It seems smart to assume that these adaptations will suck.
