Could have been incredible - but alas...

When you make a movie. Make sure you understand the source material or else don't bother making the movie.
I saw the movie before I read the comic book version. And the movie did not feel deep or clever at all. While the book was the best comic book I have ever read. The book makes you think and wonder. And explains things that you always wondered about but never understood. The movie is just a mediocre super hero movie, nothing new, nothing clever, nothing deep at all. Too bad. It could have been a great cinema experience. But they decided to dumb things down for the average movie-goer.
Watch Alan Moore's V for Vendetta instead.
