Ever seen the sky one adaption of the Colour of magic and the Light fantastic? It's good, but it's nothing like the book. Heck they even manage to cut out an entire main character.
Also, isn't the original book set from the view of the narrator? I don't remember that perspective in the latest film, but I have only seen it once and that was years ago.
Off topic: If you want to see how not to do an adaption then read I am legend and then watch the film, It's like a different story.
