Having played all the games in the series and then watching the movie (when it first came out in theaters), I must say I was a bit disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised at many instances where the movie borrowed from the game (some scenes and much of music), but the story is a retelling of the first game's story while altering it very very much, keeping only the bare bones that have some references to the games (names, locales, monsters, some themes). I bought it on DVD and has since watched it twice more. My opinion of it changed slightly toward the positive end, but I still wouldn't consider it higher than average. Perhaps because I was a bit disappointed with the alternation of the story.
The best part of the movie was Pyramid Head, which is the best boss/nemesis in any survival horror game currently out.
