Its actually amazing how close to the book it is. The plot, no, but the world as a whole is as faithful to the source as any movie based on a book has ever been.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.

Everybody I know who actually saw it liked it.
