The new Angels and Demons movie is a classic example. In the book the bad guys are the Muslims. Ron Howard, someone up until today I had some respect for, went and changed the bad guys to the Catholics. Then moaned when the Vatican did not give him filming access.
What an idiot. For some politically correct (and completely inaccurate view of Islam) he changed the story so that it no longer made sense. This is not a movie I will be paying any money to see if I bother watching it at all. I read the book and Ron Howard's changes will ruin the whole storyline.
Anyone who knows nothing or very little about Islam or has never read the book will probably still enjoy it.
