But I'm definitely going to give it a read simply because I like the film and - as you say - the comic is meant to be better.<br /><br />My only worry is that after reading, I'll like the film less - maybe even hate it?! But so be it!<br /><br />Either way, adapting such a work doesn't seem like an easy task at all - I sure as hell wouldn't like to do it! Now let me loose in the X-Men verse and I'll have me some fun ;)<br /><br />And a happy new year to you too, sir :)Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870545005924820667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022261962330314498.post-21481822332209961582010-01-02T10:17:28.638+00:002010-01-02T10:17:28.638+00:00Hey Neil - Nice list (although I disagree with pre...Hey Neil - Nice list (although I disagree with pretty much most of it ;) ) I'd be interested to see what you thought of the Watchmen graphic novel now you've seen the film. Especially if what you enjoyed most about the film was the depth of the characters.<br /><br />Objectively, I think the film struggled under its own weight and, unobjectively, they trashed my favourite character and fluffed several of the key moments - but I'd definitely give the book a go as it doesn't have to worry about being a linear narrative! Plus, you know, it's really quite good.<br /><br />Happy new year, squire :)John Hhttp://www.theendisnigel.com/johnnoreply@blogger.com
