Query: What a lousy rendition of a classic

I have had my copy of Fear and Loathing for over 20 years, its dog eared pages re-read umpteen times. While the book is hysterically funny, the fact is that not very much actually HAPPENS in this story, other than wandering around Las Vegas in various states of mind and paranoia. Hunter Thompson's strength is his phrasing and power of observation which the movie tries to capture with Depp's voice-over but it just doesn't work. Maybe another voice would have worked better.Unwatchable.
