How accurate does a movie have to be to the source material? Should the X-men movies have followed Marvel's 1963 comic to the T? Should Christopher Nolan's Batman movies be exact with the DC publications? Should Lord of the Rings have been a word for word reproduction of Tolkien's books? Did David Fincher butcher Fight Club?

I am a personally believer that a person does not go to the movies to read a book. Although there is source material there, the movie does not have to follow the literary work exactly, if at all.
