The only deviations should be for the requirements of the medium. If someone wants to be creative, then go be creative, don't steal someone else's work to do it
Fincher and Singer both had the creator's support for their changes
LOTR should not have altered Faramir and put in Osgiliath, and made Merry and pippin such clowns. Other than that, it is very faithful. They compressed things, made composite characters but the material is all from Tolkein's work

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.

Then why bother using the literary work at all?
