I just got home about 20 minutes ago from the theatre, and I have to say, this film was amazing. I really enjoyed it. I believe it was an amazingly faithful adaption of the graphic novel. For those whom have read the comic, you will recognize perfectly recreated panels from the comic. You won't just see an adaption, you'll see the graphic novel played out before your eyes. This was definitely a film made for the fans. Because of that, non-fans will probably feel it is too much. I went with a group of friends, and all of them said it was too long. No surprise there; I was the only one there who had actually read the comic. Length was not an issue with me. Snyder's attempt to bring as much of the comic to life is remarkable, but in doing so he failed to do what most adaptions do - cut down to only the core story. Don't get me wrong, there were definitely things that were omitted and/or changed, and I'm not one of those supernerds that gets in a rage over them. In fact, often times I agree with them, but this film seemed to have no logic to the cuts/changes. Some things that I thought need not be changed were, while there were aspects left in the film, which while amazing, could have been omitted to cut the film down to a length which would please fans and non-fans alike. Aside from the complaints about the length, my fellow moviegoers all agreed that the visuals were breathtaking, the characters were well-developed, and I completely agree. On top of that, it had an awesome soundtrack. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. This truly was a great film. Then again, what do I know? I'm just some comic book nerd.
Agree? Disagree? Let me know what you thought.
