Well, do you guys? My girlfriend and I have fallen in love with Rorschach. He's awesome. But overall I thought it was a pretty great movie; I guess I need to read the graphic novel at some point too. I've heard it is rather good. Thoughts please!

I give a little into the moment like I'm standing at the edge (I know)

I read the graphic novel a couple of months ago. It was all right, it had it's moments, but the ending felt like it just got to the point where Moore didn't know what he could do anymore and decided to stop it. I saw where Time had named it one of their 100 Greatest Novels, but I think that's more of a nod to "hey, this picture book thing might turn out to be something" instead of it having a strong artistic merit.

Like all of Rorschach, liked Manhattan's personal reminiscences... there was a fair amount to like, it's just that none of it really blew me away.

I really liked how the movie starts as a dark, negative film noir (with Rorschachs stuff and the comedian). But then from some point on, it kind of becomes a happytime superhero movie. I mean visually, like, the story is still brutal and all, but the visuals look really "nice" and cleaned and not like the dirty style of the beginning. That was pretty sad.
