Since when do movies have to follow the books? It has NO effect on whether the movie is good or bad. Look at the Harry Potter movies. Each one is AMAZING even if they stray far from many of the book's smaller details. Look at How to Train Your Dragon, that movie didn't follow the book AT ALL. However it was one of the best movies to come out that year (No movie can top Inception). Perks of Being a Wallflower is a work of art and probably the best movie of 2012. However it is probably straying from the source material as well. Movies and Books are two different things.Just because a movie ignores the book does not make it bad. Granted it ticks off fans but because the movie has the name on it, fans won't stop going to see the movie. Also Fox has done great films as well. Titanic, Avatar (2009), X-Men First Class, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Lincoln(Anyone who watched that movie knows how AMAZING it is) The Star war Prequel tri...(On secone thought... screw that)
