I like this movie (and YES, I HAVE read the comics)


I honestly thought this film was an enjoyable little romp. I love the idea of blending classic fiction together in one universe, and I like seeing all these characters with so much potential working off one another, seeing how their abilities make them useful assets and such.
I truly found the film to be enjoyable, to the point that I own it on DVD and don't regret that. I'll happily watch it if it's on TV.
And to counteract any possible arguments,
I have read the comics. I thought they were good but, much like Moore's works and their media adaptations, I like both the comics and the movies for different reasons. Moore is great at telling huge stories but they often feel too huge, with too many subplots and diversions and distractions. The movies work at simplifying the plot down to it's basic but crucial elements while still keeping the important parts included, like the character development and the story.
Yes, there are changes, radical ones even, but I still find both versions enjoyable.
