I thought the movie was pretty decent and all, but one thing I object to is that Rorschach was never this sadistically brutal in the GN. In the GN he uses the cooking fat as a quick way to defend himself, but here he uses it as a coup-de-grace that's really unnecessary.
The same goes for the flashback scene of the child rapist. He does not outright murder the guy, as he does in the film, but provides him with a more fitting punishment.
And finally, there's his killing of Big Figure. In the GN he drowns the guy because that's the quickest and most efficient method he has on hand. In the movie . . . well, although we didn't see it, it was certainly unnecessary.
That's what made Rorschach a likable character in the comic. He was dispensing justice in his own way, but here it seems to be a slaughter he savors, and that makes him less likable a character.
Ah well, enough from me.


Weird, I'll have to reread the GN to say for sure, its been a few months, but I remember the whole thing with Big Figure going down about the same way. I at least remember laughing at the blood leaking out from under the bathroom door. I thought this scene and the one with the pedophile murderer being fairly close. Maybe I read into it a bit differently.

All and all I was impressed by the movie, it seemed to stay fairly true to the GN aside from obvious time issues(no guy floating around on dead bodies in a GN series for starters), and the complete lack of tentacled beast at the end.

How does this differ form the frat party????

poop

Am I alone in that I'd rather call a man named "Hai" his real name, rather than "Robert, "Roger", or "Christopher"?

Face it, once you've been told how to pronounce it at least close to properly, foreign names just plain sound cooler....especially when attached to someone whose family is from said place.

I was wondering why that guy was so familiar...then I realized it was VenomfangX. I guess one of his biggest fans recently went out killed a girl and then killed himself.


Better half sifted it...

Not the Onion...Not the Art Institute...WTF???

Wow, now I know, French gangstas dress like run of the mill Seattelites.

Gah...Did anyone else see how sloppily the kid in the white hoodie was wailing on the guy with the scarf and seriously want to kick him in his prepubescent gnads for his half-assed Star Trek punch alone? I hate it when random people get assaulted.

Hmm. Interestingly, the billboard has a slightly different message.


Wow. I'm almost offended. Someone ought to send them the definition of humanism.

That's so sad. I hope that the monster that did that to a little girl gets convicted.

That's funny I was under the impression that we made ourselves pretty clear during the landslide vote in November.

I wonder whether or not Beck would finish snapping were he to realize that Thomas Paine wasn't Christian.

"The study of theology, as it stands in the Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authority; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion."
- Thomas Paine

That's funny I can always tell which customers at work are Canadian because they're outwardly much more laid back.

Tucker's attitude is just plain shitty, and it does a great disservice to the Canadian troops that have been fighting our war over in Afghanistan.

it's like my kitty, but my kitty is orange.

Man, no wonder my Mom's side pretends we're not part Italian.
