my new favorite movie. it's like i thought in my head "hey, i want to see the perfect movie. that'll fit my mood, and just make me leave the theater completely satisfied." and bam. there it was. fucking perfection.

It was very very good.

Saw it in IMax, well worth the 38.75 for 3 tickets.

I'd go see it again, to be honest. Rad movie.

i read it a while ago. but i think you'd be able to enjoy it either way. it was an incredible movie. the only drawback i can see is that its 2 hours and 40 minutes long. but i never wanted it to end

My friend who was big into the book, which I have never read, said that although it follows the book, there is A LOT of stuff that HARDCORE fans would not like because they left a lot out.
But he did say that it was a good movie.

Saw it and read it, it's pretty much as good of an adaptation as you're gonna get. Several things are cut or changed but I can see the reasoning why.

I don't think the actor for Veidt was a good choice but otherwise pretty solid film.

at some point hopefully they release a longer one in theaters with all the cut footage and black freighter added in to the movie

This movie sucked. I rarely go out to see a movie, but my friends convinced me that this was a stellar film and it really wasn't. So sick on the "300" style already. 5/10.

I'd call it about 90% faithful to the original graphic novel. The things changed are for the most part understandable. Otherwise, it didn't ruin anything for me at all.

That being said, this movie was amazing

in the opening scene the hotel room is #300 don't know if that's apart of the comic book, or was a cameo by 300....

Anyone who read the novel and said the movie sucked or the ending missed the point is a flat out idiot. It was a great movie and the ending was great and had the same meaning as the novel's.

Can't wait for the DVD to come out though.

The movie was alright, but it wasn't even half the quality of the book. Therefore it's pointless to see it again, because I already own the book.

FWIW, the book is a twice-read - once to see that it is awesome, and another to figure out what the hell was going on. I like that it holds up to multiple reads and multiple interpretations - the more I read it, the more little things I catch that may or may not be Ozymandias' little manipulations.

Just saw this, and it was fucking amazing. This was easily one of the few cinematic adaptations of a graphic novel/comic book that stayed as true to the story as possible (or at least plausible). I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who goes into a movie of this nature expecting it to be a perfect representation of the story it was based upon is an idiot and shouldn't be allowed to see the movie in the first place, since it is an ADAPTATION. The elements changed weren't so far off or stupid that they ruined the experience. I'll be seeing this again when I actually have the time to do so.

probably had a V on. this differs so much from most comics cause it's not all stories about how/why/what about their powers. powers are so secondary to the storyline. with xmen, etc.. it's all about how the got their powers and matching them up pokemon style with all the other mutants.

This movie was underrated, people expected more action and more sexy women

I loved it though, and it has inspired me to pick up the novel when I get the money, as always usually the source material is superior.

I did see the spirit this week, which i think came out the same year and was sadly even further put into the shadows. Very strange but very good movie.
