They sacrificed a good deal of sensible plot for flashy battle scenes and violence.
They concentrated far too much on the desparity of the setting and not enough other elements. The entire connection between Clive Owen's character and the Steward of England wasn't there. The whole gradual break down of society wasn't there it was just Boom violence.
The book was amazing the film was terrible. (although the acting was excellent and it was filmed well the plot they created wes laughable.)

So essentially, you didn't like it because you enjoyed the book a lot better. Fair enough, but not everyone has read the book(like myself) and enjoyed the movie for what it was. Also, just because a movie isn't word for word the same as the book doesn't make it bad. Movies are based on books, they're not books on film. I always hate it when a movie comes out based on a popular book and people start critiquing every little detail that they read in the book. If everything in a book was in a movie, the damn thing would be 8 hours long.
