Well this was one of the rare times when I had actually read the book (or graphic novel) being made into a movie before I saw the movie, but I thought overall it was pretty cool. The visuals were incredibly well done, so it really brought it to life. It was almost scene for scene. And the introduction was awesome! Way to put pages of back story into a quick sequence.
I was a little bummed out about the ending. no "aliens"??? I mean, of course they couldn't go into the character depth, paranoia, fear, moral ambiguity, comic within a comic, etc., of the novel, but I still enjoyed it. Granted I finished reading it a few hours before I went, so everything was still fresh in my mind. I think Rorschach was cast perfectly, but that's not how I pictured his voice. Was too much like the new Batman's voice. I pictured it more calm spoken and matter of fact.
What did you think? I think if you hadn't read the novel it would've been confusing as shit.
i know. i hated the ending when i first read it but then the whole time during the movie i was like I WANT TO SEE A GIANT SQUID. but it didnt happen. but i think the ending in the movie made more sense. and i LOVED rorschach. he rocked. but you're right, his voice was a little too raspy. however, im retarded and read the book again too right before the movie so i was constantly analyzing how accurate it was so i kind of got annoyed but overall it was incredibly accurate and i enjoyed it.
my boyfriend went with me and hadnt read the book and really liked it so apparently its not that confusing haha.
