I liked it - but I haven't read the book

Rating: Null/10 (22 March 2006)

I really enjoyed the movie, especially the "1812" references (albeit for personal reasons). A lot of reviewers seemed to dislike the overuse of "bollocks" as a curse word, but I've been away from my home country for over 8 months now, and I found them comforting... I also enjoyed the overly verbose dialogue. I am in no position to compare the movie to the graphic novel, as I have never read it, but direct comparison between different art forms is rarely appropriate in my opinion anyway. Granted, the Orwellian (sp) politics were somewhat outdated, and the blade-blurring effect at the end was totally unnecessary... but it still kicks UltraViolet's a**e any day!
