I thought the movie in and of itself was mediocre at best, but like others I have a grievance that can't be silenced by quoting artistic license.
They didn't stay remotely within the concept of the book and no one said they needed to, but they erred when they attached the classic title to their new invention. I would suggest far more than would see the movie otherwise would watch it because they read the title and remember a powerful story that managed to survive with effect into the modern era. The use of Robinson Crusoe as a title is misleading and greedy. For that they deserve the ire of their viewers.
