Just saw this with a friend at the cinema. I dont know what to say except that it was awesome! i havent read the graphic novel so i cant compare or be disappointed. The style was very 'graphic novel', i think it was translated well in that sense. Some scary moments for my female friend to hold me tight (note to self: take her to some thrillers).

The violence was very graphic for this movie genre, and there is even full frontal male nudity. Granted, it was Dr Manhatten. But still...

I'm not really familiar with any of the actors that starred, but they all did well. But especially the guy who played Rorshak. Incidentally, i just ordered a book called 'Hey, it's that guy!', which is a reference guide to all those character actors you see but can never remember the name of...

Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 it dragged a little which chops the top off a perfect score from me. My friend didn't like the ending, but i did. So that could be a contentious issue for some.

4.5/5



--- Quote ---my score for recent movies you may have seen:

  5/5 - Michael Clayton, In Bruges, Gran Torino

This is a must-see, I've been looking forward to it for months. I read the comic books when they came out back when I was in college.

Of course, there have been other movies based on works of fiction I loved, such as The Dogs of War and Battlefield Earth, that have disappointed.

I have to say from the previews that this movie has visual cinematography quality off the charts. I would be curious to see how good the story is though. It is supposed to be faithful to the book, but with a different ending. I never read the book, or even heard of it until the movie started getting buzz a few years back.

Excellent!!!

It looks like a good movie, but the reviews I've read said if you didn't read the comix you'll be frustrated with the movie, so I lost interest in seeing it.
