Maybe if I had read the graphic novel I could appreciate the film more. Astounding visuals but the acting was uniformly bad across the whole film and although the film was about neutrality or 'the lesser evil', I still have to root for characters whether good or bad and feel for them. I couldn't give a rat's ass in this film. Style over substance.

Actually what I've found with Alan Moore adaptations is that it's better to see the movie first then read the comics. That way you get an appreciation for the direction that the movie takes rather than constantly comparing it to the comic. That's what I found with both The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and From Hell. Still have yet to see The Watchmen or read it, something I've been holding out on for over a year now.
