Yeah, not every movie based upon a movie is terrible. From the top of my head I can think of a few that were at least decent: Minority Report, The Virgin Suicides, Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, Factotum and Marquez's Love In The Time Of Cholera seems promising. Certain authors writing styles definitely help towards creating movies and adaptations out of their works but it has been done before and in some cases - it's been done pretty well.

The idea that you could produce a good movie by taking a book that took me over a month to read and condensing it down to 2-3 hours doesn't seem like a good idea to me - but even I have some hope.
