I’ve honestly never met a fan of the books that didn’t also like the movie. I think it did a great job of appealing to fans of the book and a not so good job appealing to non fans.
I never saw the movie because I never understood what value that medium would have to offer. There’s just too many jokes packed into the text for it to translate into something you can watch in one sitting. It’s like when they made a movie about catch-22. It’s great to get the material to more audiences, but there’s just no way to correctly translate it no matter how good you do it.
