Excellent comic-book to movie adaptation.

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2007)

This is one of the few movies that is actually close to it's graphic novel and that's not all that's good about this film. Hugo Weaving (The LORD OF THE RINGS & MATRIX Trilogies) uses his voice ( but not his face! ) to convey an anti-hero who, in this case, is actually doing the world a favor. John Hurt (1984) is no stranger to this sort of science fiction tale and never let's his acting go over the top. Natalie Portman (LEON THE PROFESSIONAL) shows that she can act and was merely "drifting" through all the STAR WARS Prequels so she could act in a more serious role here.
The set design is perfect, the action sequences aren't the only highlight, politics up for discussion are talked about again & again. Last of all, I personally think this movie is better than it's source material. It's a shame that author Alan Moore didn't agree because this movie is far better than the last couple of adaptations concerning his comics ( CONSTANTINE anyone? ).
Recommended for fans of Action, SciFi, and political movies.
