The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”
And also reduced dynamic, interesting characters to blandly-handsome-or-generically-beautiful cardboard cutouts with no chemistry and dubious acting skills, often omitting or changing (usually to something blander) key physical features in the process.
