Re: Faithfulness vs Creativity in Adaptations?

[pantswarrior]

If taken to either extreme, I can dig it. If I really liked such-and-such, then seeing it play out in a different medium can be awesome! (I think people complained that the first HP movie was this way? But personally, I liked that it looked exactly how I'd imagined everything in the book.) However, it can also be interesting to see the same basic idea taken in a different direction, or elaborated upon, so that it becomes an entirely new creation to enjoy in an entirely different context. (Example: 2009 Trek movie, which I only saw at first because I appreciated that it introduced so many people to the characters I already loved in TOS, and I wound up liking the new version in its own right too, though it's a completely different thing (and I'm too wary to see ID yet. :P))

So basically what I *don't* like is when they do a halfhearted job of it, either changing the base idea so much that the original point is completely gone, or they do it KINDA faithfully but then just throw some random stuff out the window or add a bunch of irrelevant crap or otherwise switch things up for no apparent reason.
