Yes, they do the action-packed thriller well, but it no longer resembles the books in any way, shape, or form.
Who cares? Licensing the name of a character doesn't imply they would follow the (extremely shitty) books. Imagine Casino Royale if it was 2 hours of Bond playing Baccarat while Vesper Lynd did all the interesting stuff off camera.
