A real comic adaptation

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2008)

Finally, a real adaptation of a comic book that doesn't insult your intelligence, hasn't been diluted by movie exec committee thinking and breathes fresh life into a genre which has been rather stagnant of late.
The fact is that this film has raised the bar so high, the only other comic book film that can stand alongside this is the forthcoming "The Dark Knight" and in my opinion "Hulk". Even the Spiderman trilogy, as well executed as it was, has been overtaken as the best superhero film ever.
The reason why this film was amazing is that it gave credibility and humanity to the hero and the people around him, not just fancy weapons and a shoehorned in love story.
I don't want to say anything about the plot, acting, cinematography or the direction except to say watch it!!! And roll on Summer 2008 for The Dark Knight!!
