For me the film, although enjoyable, it did not do the book justice. I will keep this short. For me, the big problem was, while the book had a good balance of real world and Virtual World, the film spends to much time in the VR world. I The small amount of character development is clucky, and so is some of the dialogue. Almost all of the characters are one dimensional. What I would have liked is less VR action and more story. Lets hope someone does a better job when they make Snow Crash. But if they dont I recomend people read it.
