Most reviewers complain that this movie has strayed very far from the book and that is indeed a very valid argument. It's like getting rights to "War and Peace" and instead of making a movie about Napoleon's invasion of Russia, you make it about Russian revolution. I do miss that a lot of original ideas from the book were removed or suppressed, for instance, it would have been good if the character of Montag's wife was kept, to show how dumbed down people have become.
But not to concentrate on the negative, the movie does have things going for it. Chemistry between two leads is excellent and we got a memorable multi-faceted villain, played to perfection. If just the scenario was a bit more serious, pushed harder to highlight real world issues and was overall more polished, the movie might have been great, even with all the deviations from the book's ideas.
