It didn't pretend to be the book. It took the premise of it and did something different. The book is still relevant today and this interpretation of it is still relevant. I dunno, it was still interesting. I would say that they should have just made it and titled it differently but then people would be upset about that if they did.
If you read the book and are expecting it to follow it at all you're going to be disappointed and probably angry.
It follows it in spirit. I won't pretend to know how Bradbury would feel about it and others shouldn't speak for him since even he couldn't have predicted what our sociopolitical climate is right now.
Do you like distopian movies? Yes? You'll enjoy it but it's not something to write home about.
