Most excited I've been for a movie for quite some time, I honestly expect the movie to be better than the book from the trailers. They look great and the plot alterations they expose lend themselves better to a screenplay character's cause for his determination and anger than trying to paste in his whole backstory and expect the viewer to understand why the rifle was important. The misery they're saying that went into filming it hopefully provided a lot of perspective and fuel for the actors but hopefully it doesn't lean too much on the Hollywood "you hurt my family" motivation for invincible and unstoppable revenge.
The book wasn't explicitly bad, don't get me wrong, it was just very understated, plainly written, and lost any sense of anticipation or excitement after Glass almost dies for the Nth time, even if it was usually his wits that kept him alive.
