My memory of the film is spotty; I can say that I was rather repelled by the film and not so much by the book. It's almost analogous to the recent Watchmen adaptation, in some ways--in both cases the source material is inarguably violent, but in both cases the filmic adaptation lingers on and almost sensualizes the violence. Part of what is distressing about the book is the way that Alex (the narrator) just skims along past the violence he perpetrates, as though it's no big deal; the film, as I recall, takes its time over those scenes. So I guess my answer is no, it's not as misogynist, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it on that basis.
