one of the biggest reasons is the shallowness od the characters. jack already seems unhinged, wendy just runs around screaming and danny is just some kid. where as in the book they are all incredibly nuanced and realized

Thanks. I should read the book. I loved the film but I know books are usually superior to the adapted film.
