So.. who's seen it? Does it live up to the hype? Has anyone read it AND seen it? Does it stay relatively true to the novel?

I haven't seen it, yet. I really want to though. I always keep an open mind when a movie is from a novel. Just because they are usually different than the book. You get the general idea of the book but they combine scenes and cut things out. Which you can't blaim them especially when the are let's say trying to cram a 50 chapter book into only 2 hours. That's like so many people didn't like the Twilight movie, I loved it. What people don't realize is that not only did they have to cram stuff into a small amount of time, they didn't have a big budget either. So, like I said I try to keep an open mind. Also, I like to view the movie and the book as one, but also look at them each as indiviual. I feel that if a movie has the basic "outline" of the book, it'll be fine. Let me know if you see the movie first. I think it'll be great.
