I had been looking forward to this film since I saw the first trailer - and doubly so after reading the book that it's based on. (Definitely read the book before or after seeing the film; it has a lot more detail and interesting tidbits of information).
Overall, I think this is a solid adaptation, slowed only by Ridley's use of chapters to tell the story. I felt this really slowed the momentum that leads up to the duel itself - which was definitely the highlight of the film for me.
