Harlan Ellison is one of the bashers, and he's his usual self about it - yes, there are fictionalized sequences clearly, but it would have been an unbearably negative film if there weren't. They did what they needed to do to make the story work for audiences, which is the smart move. It's a lovely film, not brilliant, but certainly an old-fashioned movie and one that's very easy to take, unlike most of the claptrap I've watched in the last three weeks, most of which made me want to vomit on the ground. It's interesting to me, that of the screeners I've watched, the two I liked best both feature Tom Hanks.
