Visually, the film was excellent, the comic characters literally come to life, although I did think that the character of Adrian Veidt was a little too young. My favourite character in the book (Rorschach) was just how I imagined so I was really pleased with his depiction.
The gore was comic book gore - however, although I was expecting it, the attempted rape scene was pretty brutal.
Did I enjoy the film? Yes and no. In parts it dragged, although I guess the wordiness was necessary just to provide the background story/information, it just meant that the film didn't flow as it should have. Perhaps it would have been better as a tv mini series, I dunno.
It's not bad, it's worth seeing and I think I'd watch it again.
Anyway, a good and bad weekend for sport - on the good news front, Man U lost to Fulham and Liverpool annihilated Aston Villa 5-0, bringing them a point behind the leaders, who still have a game in hand. On the bad news front, non-league side Ebbsfleet United were unfortunately knocked out of the FA Trophy - no trip to Wembley this year for me!
Not my type of book/film so I can't comment on that.
ReplyDeleteBut sorry to hear about Ebbsfleet. Still, there's always next year - that's what i always say.
