That just doesnt work for me. Half way through the movie I get this "I've already seen this" feeling and get bored.
IMO a movie to a book must have it's own ideas, something different, something special.
I always mention Jurassic Park (the first one) as example:
The Crichton book is great, and Spielberg's movie also, but only because they changed so much. Different scenes, different story, partially different characters and a completely different ending.

Going slightly off topic, but if a film is based on a book if it goes off plot what is the point of it being about the book it might as well be a film inspired by the book but not at all the book. So instead of Harry Potter it'd be Barry Trotter, anyone read the books?
