I feel like we've never complained that non-animated movies adapt literature too much.

Film and TV adaptations have consistently been widely panned as terrible across the board, at least by critics and people who have read the originals.

Anime used to be the same way, but now adaptations are actually pretty good most of the time as a result of sort of weird convergence of the LN, manga, and anime industries where it's almost like a pipeline for workshopping scripts in prose form.
