Not even remotely interested in seeing this one. Even as big of a comic geek as I was this series/title was always blah to me.

Very good looking, but the storyline seemed too contrived ( or something, I could never really put my finger on the reason I didn't like it).

Well, the story IS a mindscrew, but it has one of the best OMFG ending that puts Fight Club and M. Night Shamalan movies to shame.

A big problem I had the first time through was information overload. Reading it was like watching Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. I'm hoping they tone down the info and just keep the story, which is convoluted as it is.

I dunno, that graphic novel is something I can pick up almost 30 years later, and find things I had never noticed before.
I finally got to see the trailer, and I must say, I am hooked!

The guy they have playing The Comedian is a dead ringer for the image in the graphic novel.

Rorschach is one of my favorite all time characters, ranking only second to Wolverine, and slightly ahead of Batman.

I've often said, a good story is a good story, regardless of its setting. If they stick to it, it will be a hit. If they "Hollywood" the ending too much, it won't be worth it.

The movie " The Crow" when taken by itself is good, but they bastardized and hollywooded the shit out of it. The graphic novel was 1,000 times better,.

I hope they don't change the ending and this is one I'm looking forward to.
