Highly recommended.
I had trouble getting sucked into the story because of how great it was technically. The "Big Fat Kill" section with Dwight I found easier to be drawn into, perhaps because I hadn't read that one. I got what I was hoping for with Elijah: very creepy, and I was impressed with the Marv vs. Kevin fights. I really wondered how they'd get Mickey Rourke in prosthetics fighting with Elijah, but it was very fluid and just like in the book.
Those of you who haven't read the books are really in for a treat.
The one main con for me was the score. In parts it was fine, but in others it was inconsistent. For example, for most of the movie we have the typical film noir stuff, which is fine, but then in, say the climax of the "Yellow Bastard," during the final confrontation, there was a strange brassy and percussiony score which wouldn't be out of place in Star Trek original series.
