Seen the new film?

Has anyone seen the new film?  I haven't, but I heard that it exploits the violence and adds some ridiculous scenes. What are your opinions?

I have seen the movie, but i have to say that the story by text is better. The movie is to just get the story out there and they did add more scenes that it didn't need.

Yes. I saw it.  It's ok, but doesn't really follow the book very well.  Anyways, it's worth seeing, especially if you can see it on the IMAX screen.  That's the best way!

As a high school English teacher I wasn't impressed with the movie and felt it went way off the plot line. It's okay as an off shoot, but it leaves out and adds too many things in order to stay true to the original.
