Did either of you read the book? I'm trying to decide if I want to go see this or not but it could be a major letdown after reading the book.
The book was amazing but it seems like 9 times out of 10 the movies aren't as good as the book.

I haven't read the book yet, but plan to. I don't think that you'll be disappointed in the movie, a few critics while enjoying the movie, stated that they had hoped more time had been spent on Character background. However that's hard to do in a 2 hour movie, and tell the whole story. I don't think you will be disappointed, as the visuals are done extremely well. I think this clip will answer your questions:

Hear it from the man himself:

It's a humbling experience, but I feel a necessary reminder of real life. For me, this movie touched off a whole set of emotions hard to put into words, yes there is a certain sadness, but the movie is much more than that.

Seen it, studied it, been in a reenactment of it.

I think they are great because we can learn from our mistakes.
