Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great)
Objective Rating:
A very entertaining movie. The important characters are just as fleshed out (possibly even more so thanks to the acting) as in the book. If you're familiar with the book, it's a nearly perfect adaptation - up until the point in the end where its balls fall off. If you're not familiar with the book, you'll likely not even notice any problems. For someone with no patients for Snyder's ridiculous slow-motion fetish, the extended sex scene and some of the extended action scenes are extremely tedious relative to the character-focused scenes (but this is nit-picking - the movie felt like it was only about two hours long).
