I think that too much blame is being placed on the book here. While I admit that a good story is needed to make a good film, there are other factors to consider too. For starters, the film is only loosely based on the book. What’s more the directors job is to make a movie engaging and, especially in the case of a fantasy, believable.

The characters in this movie are flat, the special effects weak, the dialogue is fake and the sets look like they came out of he-man.

If the book is bad, then it is bad. But what we are talking about here is the movie, and as such the fault really does lie with the filmakers.
