I read the graphic novel before watching the movie. To be honest, it was quite good for hollywood. They usually butcher Graphic novels. I guess not all the time ;D
I really enjoyed this movie. It shows how any country (no matter how 'great') can fall in the hands of a corrupt government. I really enjoyed this movie because it showed the way humans work. We have such a way to follow those that offer a solution. (i.e Sutler and the incident at St. Mary's) It's a modern version of what went on in Nazi Germany during WWII. I really loved this movie.
This is one of my very favorite movies. I own it. I have yet to read the graphic novel. I'm really thrilled that our library has it. You did a really great job at this review, as well. :]
