Just wasn't my kind of movie

Rating: 4/10 (2 April 2005)

I came into this movie not really knowing what I was going to see. I knew it was based on the graphic novels and knew it was going to be in black and white.
I've walked out of one movie in my life and contemplated it on one other, that being the first Harry Potter movie. This was another that I thought about walking out of. Ony reason I didn't was I had my wife and kids there.
Not sure if its just because I hadn't read the novels or that I just couldn't find anything about the movie that drew me into the story but I just never connected and sat there wondering when it was going to end.
I think it finally boils down to the three separate story lines that didn't give me a character or story line to follow through the progress of the movie. This approach would have worked better for a TV movie.
Technically its great. As a story its a 4 or 5.
