His over direction worked surprisingly well in most of the action scenes as well as deliverying very stong scenes concertrating on fewer characters at a time.

The acting is all very solid with som characters very capably breaking the cliche molds that tend to surrond "Super" films.

I am pretty sure I liked it, but it was so very far from what I was expecting its hard to be really firm about it.

it's the polar opposite to a superhero film.

i havent seen it yet but from what i've heard it follows the comic closely.
from what i've seen - entire scenes are lifted directly from the pages and put onto film.

probably the most depressing work of fiction i've ever read so i can only imagine the film as being fascinating - not enjoyable
