    As far as I can remember the Movie did terrible, especially since it didn’t really stick to the source material

      Daemons and talking polar bears. I was sold.

      I personally am not bothered by sticking to the source material or not. Books and movies are fundamentally different.

        I’m usually fine with not everything from the book making it to the movie, but changes to the plot need to be very well reasoned for. There were for example a lot of changes to the structure of LotR when Jackson adapted it, but they didn’t change the overall plot or message, mostly just restructured it.
