I think most movies made from books don't really work in the same way. Movies from books can still be very good, depending on the story. But, as someone said earlier, a book often relies on deep characterisation, which just doesn't come across in a film. A film is made to entertain often, whereas books are mostly made to make you think. Obviously there are many exceptions to this either way, but I think it partially explains why films never quite live up to books.
