So, i just saw it(yes i'm a bit late, sue me)

i read the comic book nearly ten years ago, and even then i coulda told you it would have been a bad movie.

well. i admit it.

I was wrong.

this is an awesome movie! to me it had the right ammount of nostalgia, the right ammount of innovation. while i wasn't a fan of Adrian, i felt he did a decent job. i think the other characters were better casted, and indeed, better actors. i also feel the Manhatten Ending worked a lot better then Squiddie ending, as it did tie up a lot more loose ends. my only complaint, really, is that in a movie 2 and half hours long, there was very little fighting. Wut little there was, was excellently done. i know that some won't like the flashy movie fighting, but as someone who's taken Karate for the past 8 years, i tell you, real fighting is either over too quick, or far too boring. even things like the UFC spice things up, so i feel they went the right way with the fighting.

My main opinion of this movie, is that it was done by a fan, and they did as best of a job as any fan could. it's not perfect, buts it right for the subject matter.
