So many Heinlein fans were seriously dissapointed by it. It's NOTHING like the original book.

I have not read the book in over 40 years though, so I just like the movie, but I did really like the book. Back in the early 70's there wasn't that many options for science fiction, you had Asimov and Heinlein and a few others but that was it. They kinda totally ignored the book for the movie, and I think that was one of the first times it had ever been done to that extent.

I really need to go back and read some of his stuff again, although i'm sure alot hasn't aged well. I have re-read Stranger in a strange land at least a few times over the decades, but even that has been maybe even 20 years since I read it last.
