I'm not sure I agree with your contention that "closer to the book = good", especially with your example of Lord of The Rings vs. Starship Troopers. Personally, I thought the Lord of the Rings dragged far too much, and had ridiculously maudlin, wordy segments of dialog which made the films massively dull. I think they could have cut out a few things and made the movie much better for it, particularly in the gruesomely boring end sequence of III. The Starship Troopers book, on the other hand, was originally a thinly veiled endorsement of fascist ideology with long segments devoted to political debates on the subject. Would you really want to see that on the screen?
