This was pathetic.

As if the film wasn't enough, they ruined the book ACTUALLY through this fiasco. I mean where is the sense of showing a stilted motion version of the comic book with a single voice over for the entire book? It was atrocious. Why ruin the book with this kind of act. I didn't enjoy the motion comics at all, it actually left a horrendous taste. That voice over just ruined everything and the animation was ridiculous. It's as if they were trying to show what they can do if Alan Moore *beep* with them.

^^^I wouldnt say perfection, but damn, damn good. The only thing I felt didnt work was some of the voice work. Other then that it was suprisingly good. It just goes to show you not even the graphic novel in motion can make crazy fanboys happy.

my only problem with it was using a guy doing the female voices. That was off putting. But if you think about it it's just like a book on tape with moving visuals. A nice way for people that haven't read the graphic novel to check it out.

As stated above, this was a AUDIO BOOK with limited animation.
A very creditable production, especially considering it was created as a low budget publicity item.

To anyone whos listened to books on tape before, where one narrator does all the voices, this is an easy transition. It worked for me.

They do all the voices, man, woman, children. Sometimes the narrator sounds a bit comical doing so, but I find you tend to get used to it the more you experience it and it doesnt bother you anymore.
