Read the book last summer (?), watched the movie Thursday. Thought the movie was good (I like the book/the story, and I'm a Bradley Cooper fan), but liked the book better.
***SPOILER ALERT***
My understanding is that the movie was partially re-shot/re-edited after Kyle's death to put greater emphasis on the angst/PTSD/home life anguish parts of the story and less on combat -- a little too much shift, IMHO. Long movie, more than 2 hours. I'd have preferred more 'in-country' story, myself. Pretty fascinating stuff in the book; would've liked to have seen it on screen. Maybe they'll do a director's cut when it comes to DVD.
