A pretty good adaptation of the comic

Rating: 8/10 (2 April 2006)

I read the original Alan Moore comic strip in Warrior back in the 80's. When I went to see this film I saw some of the scenes from the comic, exactly as they were. Yes there were changes, but I think that the film captured the spirit and mystery of the story. The performances were on the whole good and I felt for the characters, especially the doctor! I think action movie fans won't like this film as after the initial action plot takes over until the end. Poignant, sometimes witty, sometimes sad but always moving. If you like Alan Moore's writing then go and see this film. There is enough of his plot to please. If you like a good plot with character development then go and see this film. If all you like is action, then this film will disappoint you.
