Not familiar with the graphic novel, but found the movie very enjoyable

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2011)

I've never read the graphic novel that this movie is based on, but I like Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and thought I'd give it a shot since she was in it. I also saw a clip she brought from the movie on a talk show and found it to be intriguing. Although I don't know that I laughed early in the movie, I thought all of it was interesting and once I was drawn into this world, I laughed hard. It has a clever and entertaining blend of real-life with well-timed sound effects and visuals from comic books, classic video games and includes some impressive over-the-top Martial Arts. If those things don't sound fun to you, you may not enjoy this movie, but I found it to be a very pleasant surprise.
