This movie is in my top 5 favorite movies as well as the comic it was created from is my favorite comic.  I remember when it was announced that it was actually being made (this is one of those movies that took 10 years and like 6 directors before anything was shot) I   prayed the studio would back out.  After seeing V for Vendetta and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, I wanted this to fail.  Sure, comic book movies have come a long way. And each entry seems to progressively better, and Sin City did make me feel like i was reading the book, but no one had done any of Alan Moore's work justice. Both League and V left me asking if the writers had read the actual comics or just the summary.
