A friend IMed me and said anyone who hated this movie is a moron. Just thought I'd let you know.
Its funny because there were 2 reviews in the paper about this.
One said that the movie in no way lived up to the original comics. And apparently the director knew it never would and said so.
And the other went on about how people are up in arms in both camps.
The hardcore comics guys who said it was a slandering and watering down of the original concept with its horrid music(the songs were good but the song choices just didn't really seem to fit into a movie like that well they do but in a way that made me snicker.) and the punching of holes in walls and standard superhero fight scenes.(paraphrased)
And "the internet fanboys" who just loved the movie because of the visuals.
IMO the movie was lacking in the music department. Had stunning visuals. A hot naked chick. awesome story.
I want to pick up the graphic novel still and i think this is one of the cases where since i did not read it first i wasn't let down by anything and instead will be thrilled with a slightly different experience.
Also the movies ending is apparently different and shittier than the books.
