i saw it yesterday!
it was fairly good. not amazing, but stil enjoyable.
In parts i felt it didnt realy convert well to cinema. watching the film dosnt allow itself to go off on tangents or substories as smoothley as the comic book does. and it seems they threw in a bit of gore too keep the action fresh.
However i was impressed by the accuracy of the on screen interpretation, the set designs are great! And it almost seems that whole pannels from the comic book have come to life. also i feel sorry for people who havnt read the comic. it seemed like a film that kind of assumed you knew everything before you watched it, i went with 5 friends, 2 of which, including myself, had read the comic book and we realy enjoyed it, but the rest did not 'get it'.
But yeah, its worth a watch![/code]

i found out today that there is a latin phrase that goes: Quis custodies ipsos custodes? which translates as 'who shall watch the watchers themsleves?'. I knew reading these environmental papers would come in useful one day!
