Those who can't create criticize!!
I have read the book and though that experience surpassed my movie experience i thought the movie was great.
The movie left out a few minor details but with the time constraints it followed the book very nicely and did not feel slow or rushed.
I see a few comments about weak character development... No kidding. With a story like this there doesn't need to be nor is there the time for it.
Lets not forget that that is what this is, a great story. There is so much controversy surrounding this that everyone is quick to look for the bad, but this movie was a great experience and i would pay to see it again.
The acting was excellent. When I first heard the cast i admit I was a bit skeptical, but now I couldn't see anyone else pulling it off that well.
Big ups to Bettany (Silas), that dude is flat out amazing, as was Mc Kellan (Teabing).
The only disappointment was that they didn't end up together at the end.
Bottom line..... Howard delivered.
