I have not seen it or read the books. People at work are talking about it. I think I will read the book first and watch the movie when it comes out on DVD

I have not read the books, and don't plan on reading them.  One of my daughters just saw the movie (after reading the books).  She was pleased with the way the movie followed the book and thought it was good.

I have actually read all 3 books, and in record timing.  They were very impressive.  Certainly a good option for a young reader.  They have done a fabulous job at getting kids to read.  Granted the material or issues matter could bother some, however if you look at past choices---How to Kill A Mockingbirg or The Flies....these are also full of issues that could cause one to pause.
I can't wait to see the movie.  My sister and I are taking my father with us...we've all read the books.  Going to a week day showing, hoping it won't be as full or filled with the youngins.   ::)

I saw it last night and highly recommend it. However, I would say read the book first. To me, the books are always better since movies can't portray the inner turmoils and feelings as well. The books are awesome, and the movie is as good as movie remakes of book can be!  ;D

I know what it's about, but not terribly interested in it. With all the ruckus being made about it though, I might pick up the books in the future and will likely rent the movie.

I just went and saw it today, and the best way I can put it is that it was a good movie but nothing I would care to see again, so a one time watch is my opinion.

Haven't seen it. My sister saw the movie today and said it was really good. It sounds like a decent movie.
