Disappointed, but enjoyed.

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2006)

As an old fan boy of the comic's I was extremely apprehensive about watching this adaptation. All I have read about this movie was making me feel I was about to waste my hard earn cash on something I would find so disappointing that I would wish all involved (producer's, movie exec's, script writer's ETC.) would be peeled and rolled in salt. Luckily for these people this was not the case. Yes it is rushed, yes it is short and yes the script is poor, but you can't stop watching as you don't want to miss a single bit. Forget everything you know about the comic side of the story and watch as if only the movie side ever existed and you will enjoy this film. Don't wait for the end as you don't feel any better about the return of a supposedly dead character and it will only p**s you off for waiting till the very end, it takes so long to happen the cinema staff were cleaning up around us.
