IMHO REVIEW :
saw this over the weekend with two friends of mine who hasn't read the comic book. they thought it was 'okay' nothing great, but not bad by any means. me - having read the graphic novel didn't like it at all.

perhaps it is cause i'm a fanboy and have read the graphic novel, know that the writer, alan moore, was so unhappy bout this project that he basically wanted no association with the movie (his partner / illustrator was given credit in the movie) and they changed natalie portmans character ALOT! in the graphic novel her character is suppose to be this 12 year old gal who decides to become a prostitute. on her first nite out she solicites (very poorly) a fingerman - which is how she gets into trouble and 'V' helps out.

there's also alot of little details / interactions / relationships which the comic goes into which the movie doesn't. my recommendation. if you've read the book do not go see this movie. if you haven't read the book but enjoyed the movie - go find the graphic novel.
