Why should one entertainment film be demanding of others?

Generally speaking, film and television works adapted from famous novels can be roughly divided into three categories: the first category is to strictly follow the characters and eras of the original works, and the plots are only rationally optimized and appropriately selected, basically turning words into images, A more successful example is the 86 version of "Journey to the West", etc.; the second type is to use the main story line of the original work, but completely change the characters, era and even the region, and then use a new title, such as Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet", Zhang Yimou The "Golden Armor" and so on; this film, like John Woo's "Red Cliff" and Leonardo's "Romeo and Juliet Modern", belongs to the third category, mainly using the characters, years, locations and story clues of the original work , but the plot is completely new.
As far as I am concerned, these three adaptations are acceptable to me, the main thing is whether the movie looks good or not. For this film, if you don't ask whether it is in line with the spirit of the original book, whether it is in line with the background of the times, whether the technical settings are reasonable, whether it is pull, pull, pull, etc., etc., then this film is still a good This is a high-quality entertainment film. First of all, the story is clearly explained. In addition, there is no shortage of handsome guys and beauties, Jinyihualou, airship cannons, long swords and muskets. There are also a lot of action scenes that can stimulate the adrenal glands and humorous episodes. A popcorn movie, can you ask for more? For this kind of film, audiences buy tickets to enter the arena to watch beautiful women show off their thighs, to watch muscular men fight, to watch dazzling scenes, and to watch visually striking architecture and costume designs. Why is this kind of movie called "Spartan 300" or even "Pretty Girl" everyone can accept, but when it is called "The Three Musketeers", some people want to raise their noses and eyes?
In fact, Alexandre Dumas himself wrote popular novels, and if he stays dead now, he will be an online writer. If he holds it up, he is nothing but nine knives, Yueguan and the like (not meant to belittle), not because he was born early. Hundreds of years, he was stunned to give him the title of a writer. Whoever wants to say how profound the ideological connotation and the vast humanistic feelings in his novels are completely over-interpreted by young literary and artistic people, and I can't approve them even if they are beaten to death. So I think the changes to "The Three Musketeers" are the same as the adaptations of "The Swordsman" and "Meteor Butterfly Sword". Very hypocritical thing. Besides, it would be a bit too bullying for you to ask the director of "Resident Evil" to make a film adaptation of a famous novel that is full of literary and artistic style.
However, this film also has many shortcomings. For example, the scene of stealing the necklace is obviously plagiarized from "The Thief of Thunder", how does Da Vinci hide the manuscript, how is it Egyptian style, some side weapons are more than exquisite but not creative enough, and some large scenes have computer special effects The traces are too heavy, etc., these are unforgivable for this film.
