For me, movies from a book are always just a recap. If you really want to "film" a book, make at least a mini-series.
This summer, I read Price and Prejudice, then I listened to the audiobook, then I watched the movie and then I watched the mini series. While the movie was excellently done, if you know the book, you'll miss some undercurrents. The mini series was awesome, it really captured the book, like a movie simply can't due to time restraint.
