This is as good as it gets

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2018)

Always problems filming a cult classic. Always. Purists will pop blood vessels. The ignorant will scratch their heads. I am a purist, the graphic novel blew me away. I also love this. Close to perfect.
It captures the slime of the world in the comic. The depression, the sadness, the grim realism. As an adaptation, it is close to the oh so perfect Dredd. This is a work of beauty that the graphic novel lovers should not dismiss. Very, very, very good.
Footnote for the naysayers: rewatched this again with 110% attention. Whatever faults you may find here, Zack Snyder and writers' understanding and love of the graphic novel is self-evident. There is nothing other than respect for the source material. Period.
