    Who has seen this movie? I found it very good, but a little confusing. My favorite line in hte movie: "A revolution without dancing, is hardly a revolution worth having!" Overall it gets people thinking. Defintly one of my Favorites movies.

I haven't seen it, but I did read somewhere that the writer of the cult comicbook it was based on was so unsatisfied with the result, he completely withdrew himself from it. Apparently he found there were too much concessions done to comercialism.
So I plan on buying the book first...

I've seen it a few days ago but I haven't read the comic book. I don't have any idea on adaptation.
 
I liked its critical position against the disinformation of media and the role of fear thoughit might be better in the artistic style.

Movie was terrible, just terrible.  The comic is really much better.

Alan Moore the writer is such a prima donna, his comic book is not that good and the movie is pretty awful.
