Yeah well that is Philip K Dick, right? He was really a movie concept originator more than a good writer. His stuff is pulp. I say that as someone who has read many many of his books. He was incredible at coming up with plots - he was the consummate idea man - but not such a good writer. So he is a perfect example of where movie watchers are going to almost always be disappointed turning to the book source.
Tolkien? No movie is going to be as good. IMO it is pretty much that simple. So I am not so critical of the films as many here are.
