But don’t fret: This review isn’t one that seeks to shame every book loyalist out there. There have been many successful movie and television adaptations of popular books in the contemporary age that have rooted themselves into our popular culture experience, yet we always hear that same complaint from that one friend (or maybe from ourselves, yikes!) that the film wasn’t as good as the book or that the film did not stay true to the book’s story arc and character developments.
Have you ever been around people or been one of those people who are absolute die-hard fanatics about certain books and stories - like the culture-changing Harry Potter book series, the thrilling crime-solving adventures of the Agatha Christie mystery oeuvre, or Frank Herbert’s mind-boggling and affective epic science-fiction novel “Dune” - and then immediately express their distaste and disappointment in the movie or television adaptation once it is released in the movie theatres or streaming services? Well, ladies and gentlemen: This sentiment is more widespread than you think.
