What decides if a movie is a commercial success is whether it's a good movie that fits the expectations set by its publicity.
What decides if people will bash a movie due to it being a bad adaptation is whether it's a good adaptation of the original material.
Both of those things correlate a bit, but are mostly not related.
Yep, there are accurate adaptations that are bad movies, and good movies that are bad adaptations, either way though they have to add up to something that will sell, and that's hard to do with corporate idiots stepping on the creators and writers. The people doing resident evil knew to get out of their way, shareholders don't.
