I don't think it would be possible to do a literal take on the books and thusly feel that what Peter Jackson did with the films was just. While I wasn't thrilled to see Faramir portrayed as such an ass and the whole Frodo in Osgilliath thing done, they did fit well into the film.
On the whole, Jackson should be lauded for his work. While he may not always be doing the books justice, he is certainly doing the themes and most of the situtations as well as he possibly can. Both are good, regardless.
