My only experience with the series is the film. In the context of the books, what did the film do wrong?

Well... the film wrapped up a thirteen book series using only the first three books. That and Jim Carrey, although a decent actor who could fill the role of antagonist fairly well, hammed things up a bit too much for the sanguine tone the stories really call for. That's just my take on it though, it wasn't a bad film, just terribly underwhelming for those who expected a series to follow through all the books.
