That said, the movie? Awesome. I absolutely hated the book, and I think the movie's my favorite.
I was also shocked to discover I actually liked this movie, because rereading the book was an awful chore. This felt a little like 'Harry Potter 6: The Parts You Didn't Hate,' and I managed to giggle at the bits I DID loathe rather than cringe and whine over them. I'm finding reviews now pointing out awesome scenes I would have liked them to include, but overall I was really pleased and surprised when I left the theater (at 2:50am oh god).
