James.
There's few and only few books that ever made it into good movie. And the good movie might have been the whole different book. And then there's few good movies out of not-so-good books.
In case of the books, i like to use the image my poor brain tells me. The writer leaves me a change of to use my own imagination.

However, having said it, if even the poor movie makes people read more then its worth of it.
As we were told in school: Reading books is always worth of it.
