I can understand these complaints. In general, though, I felt like the movie was just being a different thing while trying to stay faithful to the spirit of the book, and I loved the movie for that. It didn’t feel like the creators just wanted to cash in on a name, but genuinely liked the material and were trying to bring that to life.
It wasn’t a great movie, but as a fan of the books, I appreciate that it exists. I knew it wouldn’t happen, but I wanted the sequel.
Also, I didn’t get the feeling they misunderstand the “end” joke, I thought it was just a cute way to end the movie while name checking the potential sequel.
I should probably watch it again to be fair, I've not seen it in quite a while. Maybe I'd like it more this time.
