| I would have to recommend you read the graphic novels first - and not just because I'm a comic-book fan. As accurate as the movie was to the source material, it left a lot out of the stories simply because of time constraints, and because of this the pacing was also too fast, and it also had kind of a cheesy/campy tone that I didn't notice in the comics. I thought the movie was great, but I'm really glad I experienced the stories first by reading them in their original form. (It should also be noted that I'm a much bigger fan of film than I am of comic books.) |
