If you didn't read the comic book = "Awesome!" If you did = "Wait, what?!"

Rating: 5/10 (13 May 2010)

The movie is a great piece of entertainment. Very funny in that "Superbad"-area of funny. But their mission must have been to interpret the comic book as a movie. I'm not completely nuts for thinking that. And in that case, they failed miserably.
I've never seen a comic book movie based so loosely on the original material as this one. Big Daddy dressed up as Batman? What?! :D I'm not questioning the professional abilities of the screenplay writers, but they definitely did not get or even read the comic book.
The narrative and aesthetic style is great, though. Exactly as it should be. Comic book captions, great visual effects and a well thought out cast for the look of the characters. The acting is not too shabby either, though none of the characters are captured spot-on.
If not for the writers, this could have been an awesome movie interpretation of an awesome comic book. The story is almost completely rewritten, resulting in a mediocre storyline with elements of the plot forced into it during 3 minute intervals.
Oh yeah, and if you haven't read the comic book, definitely read it after watching the film. It's so much better, you'll sh!t your pants.
