Let me put it this way: this was the first Big Damn Action Movie I have seen in a very, very long time that did not betray the source material or my hopes in one way or another. I intend to go back as soon as I get paid.
I may need to buy the Tales From Year Zero comic. Normally I get very angry about movie tie-ins being the place where the movie makers offload their character development and Other Material You Should Know, but I think they did a good enough job of putting all the Stuff You Need To Know into the actual movie this time. The comic's just for expanding on everybody's histories and the like.

That it had a lower domestic take than the latest Adam Sandler tumor has re-inflamed my cynicism, though.
