I thought the movie was pretty bad. It was as if they just had a checklist of scenes they needed to get to and then moved on to the next one.
The best part of the book was being inside Ender's brain, understanding how he outplayed and outwitted his opponents, understanding all of the different tactics and counter-strategies involed in the battleroom games, which the movie does very little of. They don't really develop any of the characters the way they did in the book, like Bean, Petra, etc.

I realize they had a limited time to fit everything in, but if you can't do it right...
I went in with low expiations due to the fact that I've read the book 30+ times and my standards were not going to be met. But I was underwhelmed with the movie. Mirana touched on one of the main reasons.
Also...
Bean wasn't even in Enders launch group in the book...
