I think the problem is less being unfaithful to the source material and more that many of these books are adapted in an industrial style complete with alienated workers who are completely detached to the finished product. If hundreds of professionals are doing what their boss says to do on a project they don't really care about, the end product tends to show the lack of effort and care. Any changes individual workers make to the film project that adapts it to the new medium is the only art to be found in a project otherwise fueled by cynicism and spite.
