G-ddamit had a huge post to add and my cat just jumped on the keyboard and sent me to my home page! ARGHHHHH!!
Well since _Idon't have the time or willingness to rewrite everything that I had I'lljust post a link for a review I found on one of my favourite music/movie review sites,
Tiny Mix Tapes. Just to point out that I believe it's not a bad movie, it's just that it's impossible to acount for all the richness and complexity of the stories when in the movie the premise follows a simple A-to-B storyline. In the novel the maskmen killler plot is just a thread that allows for the character to be developed...for instance Rorschach in the movie,´is lke a antihero badass, kind of like another side of the Comedian... In the novel he's a pathetic shell of a man, who only lives thru the skin of his masked pesona, an allienated man who's only contact with humankind is through breaking and entering in his former colleague, a retired and depressed ex-superhero... Rorschach as resigned of his humanity, hes a bitter and cold man, because he was never loved, living in fantasy since his childhood, in order to escape the gruesomness of his own life... He's the most tragic of the character's, he is no man, just a mask, almost to the end...well and that's just a sample of the lackings of the adaptation...
So, if you liked the movie, buy the book! If you didn't...just another reason to buy it!
