I don't think the problem is that you wrote a 4 page meta on how the book and the movie compare (that's some interesting shit). It's that you probably wrote a 4 page meta on how the movie was bad-wrong for not exactly copying the novel, which is frankly a hard read if you enjoyed the movie.
And it is hard to believe that someone actually enjoyed a movie if all they do is talk about how wrong it is and how much better the source material was. How can all that dislike and disappointment remain boxed away and not taint everything? "This was a horrible, terrible movie and it made me want to barf, but the cinematography was wonderful. I can't wait to buy the boxed set!" It just doesn't make sense.
It won't get any purity points, but you can compare canons and point out differences without making one "wrong" and the other "right." They can be judged by their merits as well as by their differences. Frankly, I found some of the changes and additions to be awesome.
