Greetings Karen, 

 I have seen the movie. I have not read the screen play, yet. In this case, since the movie came first (the screen play/book was not released until after the movie premiered) I advocate seeing the MOVIE first.
The primary reason is that the entire story line was conceived AS A MOVIE therefore should be enjoyed as it was originally created first.
Besides there is a surprise in the end that you really do not want to spoil for yourself.   If you find out what the secret is, by reading the screen play first, it will "taint" the enjoyment of the entire film. ... It would be like reading the last page of a novel first...
 
In terms of visual impact ... It is FANTASTIC! AND I am so glad that more are coming!

I know that writing for the screen is very different than writing for print ... JKR must have been watching Steve Kloves very carefully because for her first time out she did a FANTASTIC job!
