Vandalised

Rating: 4/10 (17 April 2006)

At the risk of a massive flamewar, I thought it was utter crap except for the "My Turn" or the bullets-vs-knives fight-scene and now I understand why Alan Moore is so cruel, he did not appreciate what was done with his "LXG/League of Extraordianary Gentlemen" either (but that was cool for me though, a bit moody and dark like Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman), but he has now refused to sell the rights of any of his other and future creations... Huge chunks of the graphic novel version of "...Vendetta" were both lopped off and out - I definitely was not impressed! Hugo Weaving was wasted in his bemasked experience and so was Natalie Portman as a shave headed waif taken under Weaving's wing - you'd be better off sticking to the graphic novel! God save us if they ever "adapt" the Watchmen (1986), a true catalyst in graphic novel history alongside "Return Of The Dark Knight"!!
