Having read the comic book (or graphic novel) some time ago, I know that this has deviated from the original quite alot – in fact, Alan Moore publicly disassociated himself from the film before release. This, in itself was probably a wise move on one level – the comic is far superior – complete genius really and some of the plotholes in the film were dire.

Nevertheless, I did think the film was excellent and captured much of the Moore spirit. Good cast – esp. Hugo Weaving as the mysterious V. Dark, claustrophobic, conveyed the message correctly.
