I think the problem is that a lot of fans, for whatever reason, expect book to film adaptations to be 100% accurate to gain "faithful" status. I used to be the same way, especially when the first couple Harry Potter movies came out. I was convinced, CONVINCED, that JK Rowling would make Peeves a huge part of the last book or something so that the filmmakers would be screwed. My nine year old self walked out of that movie theatre complained that Harry's eyes weren't the right color.

You're right that it is one of the most faithful adaptations out there (my issues with show!Robb aside), but until certain fans sort of wise up to the whole art of, well, "adapting" things, there are always going to be complaints.

^ This right here.

Despite my comments upthread, I do mostly agree with this perspective. Books and films are two completely different mediums; the same plot is going to be expressed differently across them by necessity.

That said, I think it is possible for an adaptation to stray so far that it misses/loses, for lack of a better term, the "soul" of the source material. I'm more bothered by that than by adaptations that take liberties.

[insanenoodlyguy]

It's about the spirit of the thing. You get that right, you've got a good adaptation.

It's why the Marvel movies are doing so well, in my opinion. (The fact some of the comic writers are directly involved in those projects helps no doubt).

It's also why shit like Catwoman and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fall so short. Sure, sometimes something changes the tone successfully, like Men in Black, more more likely you get a Constantine.

NGL, I remember liking LXG when it first came out and I had a very low tastebar. I'm kind of scared to watch it now because I had (have?) such fond memories of it. (The only part I didn't like was Tom Sawyer.)
