You can’t easily make a movie about such a long novel and pull it off.
Also, the movie only makes sense if you read the book.
I enjoyed both, but I understood why the movie was criticized and not very popular.
It is worth the effort reading or listening to the entire series in chronological order really great. Fantastic actually.
Mulholland Drive didn’t make any sense.
When Stanley Kubrick hired Arthur C. Clarke to write the story for 2001: A Space Odyssey he explained to Clarke “A movie is about 2 to 3 hours long, and consists of about 60 scenes. Each scene can be described in a single sentence. What I want from you is 60 sentences.”
Great novels often make poor films. The best screenwriting comes from short stories. Of course there are exceptions (The Godfather), but in general novels are too big and dense for a film to treat them well.
SyFy did so successfully.
