What is supposed to happen with the characters is happening, just not how and when. And that’s okay. Books and films are different art forms so there will obviously be differences. The adaptation is brilliant which again is the general consensus. You don’t think so because you want it to be more in line with the books and don’t like the decisions being made to make it into the movies. That’s a personal opinion.
All I am saying is that these movies are fantastic especially given all the elements of storytelling that a movie is supposed to have and how. It’s not only the story that should be evaluated when judging movies. It’s also how it’s shown - its an audio visual medium afterall.
People cried over how Harry Potter books weren’t exactly made as the books. But everyone still loves them and make sense for the art form that are films.
But what do I know? I only went to film school for 6 years and now currently work in the industry. I’m not trying to change your mind cause it doesn’t matter. Facts are indisputable and differences in the art form of books and movies are well established for one to critically evaluate the two if they know enough about it.
Your gripes about the differences are not invalid but they also don’t apply when it comes to the art form of cinema because what needs to happen more or less happens - the how it happens will always be different. Not everything can and will be shown on screen because it would not make sense -again, for the art form and especially for the kind of story that the filmmaker wants to tell and how.
