I thought it was really good as well. I hadn't read the comices before the the movie was very well done. I'll be picking this up on DVD for sure. I need to watch it again to understand it more.

I just pray they don't call it the DVD for Vendetta Edition.

Man, I almost forgot about that. I have no idea how that could be possible. I think I might just have to catch it again, but at the Imax this time just for the school girl scene!
Throw me into the category of fanboy waiting in line to get this one home to watch again and again. I'd love the Alan Moore commentary like someone else suggested, but considering everything I've heard about him is that he's never happy with the movie versions of his works, I wouldn't hold my breath on that happening anytime soon.

Looks like it did come to the only decent theater around here so I guess I'll go see what the experience is like in the theater. I was considering going there for the King Kong remake (heard it really should be seen on a big screen) a while ago but it left so fast I didn't get a chance.
I think the last time I was at that theater was for the Planet of the Apes remake (hmm, two ape pictures...) when I wanted to compare its picture to what I had at home. That's why I haven't been back.

This thread is probably better suited for the Movie Talk section, but I'm just as carried away with this topic as all of you are. I saw the movie Saturday night, and walked away VERY impressed. I had no idea I'd like it as much as I did.
After the movie, I told my girlfriend, and the friends that came with us, that this was "a first day dvd purchase". I'll buy this on release day, regardless of the cost. I'm hoping there's a director's cut of it, with a longer playing time, because I seriously could have sat there watching that movie for another half hour. (Maybe longer, but I don't want to push it.)

Hahaha...I WISH that were the case! More often than not, I just learned to either a) tune people out or b) report them to management. Pretty simple.
