Better if you read the comic book AFTER this

Rating: 6/10 (17 April 2006)

This movie isn't bad at all. Good screen writing, good acting, overall a good action movie. The problem is the comparison with the comic book: the story is similar, the ideas are entirely different. So when you watch the movie I suggest you to completely forget about the masterpiece from Alan Moore. I definitely can understand the reasons why Alan Moore didn't want his name in the head titles of the movie. The comic book is a complex study about anarchy and leaves a lot of unsolved questions in the mind of the reader, the movie occasionally occasionally reveals the political ideas of the screenwriters and nothing more, also lacking the complex ending of the graphic novel here replaced with a kind of happy ending. Anyway I must admit I would have rated it 7 if I hadn't read the comic.
