Now, I have heard your points, I will have to disagree. I think with any genre of film making, you will have some books and stories that are just badly portrayed on the big screen and those that done superbly, more often it's with the first, rather than the later because of because of a multitude of things that don't actually matter to the story (Studios/Directors/Even Actors), but its on going thing. All I would say you could hope for is someone to come along and remake the film(s).
Anyway, all of it is a matter of opinion.
