wow, that WAS quite good. it definitely branched off from the book in some pretty fundamental ways, but i did think the spirit of the letter was preserved. very impressive piece of work! definitely the best comic adaptation i've ever seen, including the X-Men and Batman Begins films.

you should definitely pick up the graphic novel, it's just totally brilliant in every way. plus, it includes a terrifically fucked-up, mind-bending psychedelic scene at Larkhill, if i remember right.
