20% amazing. 80% crammed together butchery of Moore's classic.

Rating: 4/10 (7 March 2009)

The filmmakers tried their best, but anyone who read the original comics WAY before this became a screenplay can understand that it was badly butchered, a great deal of unnecessary blood and gore. SERIOUS cuts had to be made for time which badly hurt central, CLASSIC characters' development.
I absolutely applaud the effort, it shows real passion for the story and characters. This one-of-a-kind graphic novel and instant classic was never really do-able as a live action film, but no one can blame Snyder and friends for trying! Poorly stitched together, much like Moore's other classic 'V for Vendetta'.
