Can't. Haven't read the book yet and was unimpressed with the movie. Sorry. ;-)

is it only "good guys"? I noticed several WOT names but only from the "light" side, no Forsaken (maybe harder to get last names) or Padan Fain.

I omitted indeed characters I didn't like. Those are not necessarily the villains. There a quite a few of them in there as well.
