i think this is a question of audience and purpose. assuming the movie is good if you go into thinking it's an original creation:

some creators are trying to comment on the original novel or bring an entirely new theme to bear (starship troopers, the shining) and so I agree. bad adaptation, but good movie.

some creators are not trying to do any of that and believe that they understand the themes/characterization/etc of the novel and their changes are merely emphasizing those themes/characters/etc, and so if the movie fails at reaching or engaging with its primary audience (people knowledgeable about the book) because it doesn't know what the fuck it's talking about then it's a bad adaptation and a failed movie, even if its enjoyable with no baggage. i'm okay with deeming that also a bad movie because that movie is deliberately and intentionally in conversation with the original as a translation and it fails at that primary purpose.

I'm not saying you're necessarily going to know which is which, but if there's evidence of the latter, I think its fine if people think it's a bad movie.
