Because in comparison this is a bad cartoon, while the novel has been in continuous print for as long as I have been alive.
I have yet to see (and I went through 75 or more) even one IMDb user's comment on this "movie" catch that it bears less resemblance to the book than did Kubrick's "The Shining". To paraphrase Robert A. Heinlein -- author of the book -- this is a classic case of a screenwriter and a director "peeing in it until they like the flavor better."
For a truly lucid and cuttingly accurate assessment of this alleged film, read Spider Robinson's essay "Recutting the Crown Jewels", first published in the Toronto Globe and Mail 11/97, and reprinted recently in his collection "The Crazy Years" (BenBella Books).
Key quote from Spider's piece: "During the first week (of release) nearly 3 million people bought a ticket; doubtless its makers were pleased. But they COULD have sold at least another TEN million tickets."

Well, we can always count on Kiss fans to disagree, can't we?
(DISCLOSURE: I was at the recording of Alive II at the Forum in Inglewood CA., when I was 13. Have also seen the Colorado stops of the "Reunion Tour" and the "Farewell Tour".)
Seems to me that some of the other reviewers here were watching some other performance. One disses Peter Criss -- and Ringo Starr, in the same breath -- by calling them "mediocre gimp(s)"? Please. We who have a clue are *extremely* tired of seeing every drummer in the world who is not Neil Peart, John Bonham or Keith Moon being punished for not being one of them.
Never mind that I have never seen or heard an actual drummer administer this abuse... forgive me, but I believe that in order to validly criticize any musical performance, you should have a closer connection to it than does the average NASCAR fan yelling at his TV while his '73 Vega rusts in the yard. Do you really think you know how it can be done better? Go ahead, give it a try -- and try not to cry while soaking your aching wrists in ice water after the gig, assuming you get through it at all. So unless your name is Stuart Copeland, shaddup already.
Another one who obviously has not done his/her research calls Tommy Thayer a "club guitarist". Right -- Tommy's credentials are shown well in another comment. As for Ace, here's a news flash: he's a drunk. Has been, probably still is, and that's at least a large part of why they didn't want him back. (Here in Denver on the "Farewell Tour", Ace was buzzing frets and stumbling around the stage fit to attract a cop -- seen and heard with my own eyes and ears.)
Tommy Thayer, in this performance, resurrected one of my favorite tunes: "Let Me Go Rock and Roll". Kiss hadn't performed that song for twenty years or so. Why did Tommy make that happen? Because Paul and Gene could trust him to do it right. Ace barely made it through "Rock and Roll All Night" his last time through Denver, and it was obvious he wanted to get off the stage and the tour.
Tommy re-taught Ace his own chops for the Reunion Tour in '96. Then a couple of tours later Tommy went out and out-performed Ace at his own game. We should punish Tommy for this? To hell with that, I'm with the sign in the Melbourne audience: "Tommy Rocks!"

Highly entertaining, very authentic and (for the most part) historically accurate. One example of David Milch's use of creative license: historians say that Seth Bullock didn't arrive in Deadwood until the day before Wild Bill Hickok was murdered (holding aces and eights) in 1876, where in the series Bullock and Hickok had days or weeks to develop a friendship.
You read right, folks: Wild Bill and Calamity Jane Canary aren't the only actual people being portrayed here. Al Swearengen (and The Gem) were quite real, as were "Colorado" Charlie Utter, Sol Star, W.E. Adams and others including, of course, Seth Bullock.
(Anyone interested in the history of Deadwood might want to start by looking at http://adamsmuseumandhouse.org, but I offer that link -- not this post, just the link -- with a low grade "spoiler warning", because the actual history of Deadwood is probably going to be a large part of where the series goes in the future.)
