Saw it in IMAX, real the novel, liked both. The gratituitous sex scene in the owl thing was a bit much though. If I wanted porn I would have gone down to the Strand Theater. Rorsasch Rocks!

i liked it a lot. havent read the book thingy or graphic whatever its called. but now i want to. rorshack and the comedian were my two fav. characters.   and i'lll never complain about some ( . Y . ) in  a movie lol. its a bit different than other superhero movies and thats why i liked it

I was going to go see it both Friday and Monday, but it was so nice out I just rode right past the theater and headed out to the back roads. It might rain tomorrow so I guess I might catch a matinee (the joys of unemployment....)

I am very excited to see it, I loved the graphic novel and worked in a comic shop in NYC when it came out so it brings back a point in time for me that was really fun. I am doing my best not to build it up too much before I go see it so I am not disappointed though.

Was it worth seeing it in IMAX? The nearest showing to me in IMAX is about a 30 minute drive (16 miles as the crow flies... gotta love NoVa...)

The movie had its good points and it's bad points.  It was a fairly good adaptation of the graphic novel overall, although I'm not thrilled about a few of the changes in the main plot points near the end.  It's LONG, over two and a half hours, so use the restroom beforehand   I enjoyed seeing it in IMAX.


BTW I just went back and looked and the "gratuitous sex scene in the owl thing" is right there in volume 7.  Complete with ( . Y . )

I think the only reason why I liked it was because I loved the graphic novel, and watching it reminded me of how good it is.  That sex scene was so painful to watch though.  I also think there should be a moratorium on using Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" during sex scenes in any movie.

Exactly, I am all for the gratuitous T&A beach blanket scenes in my R flicks, but that scene just got dragged out a bit long for me. Otherwise, the inner geek was well satisfied with the rest of the flick.
