As a rule of thumb I generally don't watch movies for classic, renowned or otherwise highly acclaimed books if I haven't read the book. there's really no sense in drawing an opinion and conclusion on the book just by watching a movie, which could easily just be a loose interpretation backed by some producers, made for money by a random director a hundred years after the book came out.

That's a fair point, but this particular movie was made in contemporary times and critically acclaimed. The things that bothered me about the movie (boring story, flat characters) are things that could easily apply to the book as well. However, I won't claim to know the book, I was just raising the possibility that it's not that great.
