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.
You're right, not following a book word for word doesn't necessarily make a film bad. But in this case the film is bad whether the book existed or not IMO. Take the book away and I think it's a poor plot on film no matter what. Like I said, well acted, good shooting, but ill-conceived plot.
Are you saying the you enjoy everysingle adaptation of a book and it's not possible for the film to be bad? Probably not.
