I'd say the better a book is, the harder it is to match fans' expectations with a movie. A great book is far longer, more detailed, and more complex than any movie can be, so trying to adapt one into a movie results in an abbreviated and altered pale reflection of the source material. It may be a great movie in its own right…but a lot of fans of the book don't see that. They just see how the script writers had to butcher the book to get there.
Under no circumstances should Keanu Reeves be let near this.
