TL;DR: Only get this after you've read the book and would like to experience the story again. Otherwise you should just go with the book.

I gave it such a high score because I've read the Killing Joke and liked this adaptation. Personally, I had no issues with the extra "prologue" scenes that were not in the comic. I found them interesting enough, even though you won't care much by the time the actual story starts. All in all the animation could have been better at times, that's why it is not a 10. However, I cannot recommend this to those who haven't read the book. If you have read it and would like to watch it as a movie, then by all means you should. If, on the other hand, you have money or time for only the book or the movie I would definitely go with the book.
