I loved it! It was mostly faithful to he book, but there was a lot that was left out - mostly minor stuff that wasn't needed for the plot. The only major change was the one I mentioned upthread.

I think it did an excellent job in translating the theme and feel of the book to the screen.

The casting was perfect; with one disappointing exception. The actor who played Veidt was too young, to thin, and too boyish looking.

A lot more glowing blue penes than we saw in the book, BTW.
