I agree that the manga is better than the movie, but the movie is still well worth watching IMO. The good thing about the manga is that Kiriyama is exaplained somewhat more than the movie, where he just seemed to be a deus ex machina to wipe out as many students as possible within the time limit. I hear the novel is the place where he's actually explained explained, but the manga still doesn't feel a hackneyed for that.
