The art was gorgeous, and the writing was engrossing, but they really took it to the extreme. I am curious about how far the movie will go. I doubt that the main character, played by the lovable James McAvoy, will wantonly rape and murder innocents for the first half. Or that the loving nod to comic books will remain as strong. I can imagine that a simplified version could make an effective movie, though. I remember the effect that the first Matrix movie had on me- the drive home alone in the dark, in the rain, felt unreal, like a video game with no consequences. If done effectively, this movie could produce the same effect, but it's a somewhat frightening thought. I just read this TPB (the defeat of the superheroes took place in 1986).
