i don't know anything about the comic, so obviously i cant compare the movie to its source. i can only take the movie for what it is.
and its a fun and entertaining piece of comic book fantasy that doesn't totally suck. for a comic adaption, thats already quite something. the story is not exactly interesting, but some nice acting and surprisingly warm characterisation make up for that. the main villains (the Russian wizard and hitlerella) are a bore, but the lesser villains (the monsters and the gas mask guy) are excitingly creepy. also, the production design and special effects are quite nice.
i read a lot about how good this adaption is; as i said before, i cant comment on that. maybe the movie resonates more with people who know the comic. for a newbie like me, it was fun and entertaining, nothing less and nothing more.
