I am a HUGE J.R.R Tolkien fan!!!!! The books are far superior to the movie period end of subject. While I enjoyed the movies, I knew going in there was no way possible they would follow the script. I’d say 95% of books made to movies don’t do the book justice. Although many of Stephen King’s movies are pretty dam close to the books. I guess you need the author to be alive and a part of it to make that happen.

That's probably a lot of it, how involved the creator is, and if they are powerful enough to make their demands heard. Stephen King has the unique case of having already been considered one of the best writers in the industry even when he was fairly young, giving him a lot of power to make his demands heard in Hollywood for most of his movies.
