Do movies give justice to the books they are based on ??? Do shed light on your perspective with an example

Pretty difficult to ever do that. There’s an interesting psychological phenomena behind this.

Yaa, i have also felt the same for every book i have read. I feel they miss out on many details and books let us imagine so much more and also have our own perception and its much more engaging.

Palahniuk likes Fincher's adaptation better than his own book.

Cormac McCarthy was a brilliant writer, he rarely ever misses. For the movie to contend on the same level is simply outstanding.

I know you said a movie and not a series, but just putting it out there. I loved the book and the show equally. But a film doesn't have the luxury of a lengthy running time as a series (so, this example disqualifies.)

I think it ultimately comes down to how faithful to the source material you'd like your film to be. But that calls for a sincere and honest understanding of the material (book) itself. Once you have it, you get to play around with the narrative. Even if it's not a 100% book-to-film adaptation, the results come out great. All great book adaptations are such examples.
