Hi there! Anyone of you watched both the movie and read the comic by Alan Moore? Which do you think is better? I watched the excellent movie twice but haven't read the comic! Cheers! Andre www.theultimatesuccessmanual.com

I have read the comic and seen the movie. I actually saw the movie first, and really liked it, so then I read the comic. I have read other comic by Alan Moore so I am familiar with his style. I think the comic book is much more complicated than the movie. It goes a lot further into the political intrigue. I must admit I found it a little hard to follow. There are other characters that aren't in the movie, and the roles of some of the character in the comic book were combined for the movie. So that can get a little confusing if you are expecting it to really follow the movie. The art, while beautiful also lends to the confusion as some of the characters really look alike. I actually read that Alan Moore was not happy with the movie. Maybe it's because it simplified the story too much? I thought the movie was great though...but I would also reccomed the comic if you want to get much further into the story.

Yes, I read some of Alan Moore's other work - The Watchmen being my favourite! I also heard about Moore's unhappiness with the movie. Ya, it was really a great movie, can't believe it wasn't nominated for any Oscars! I'll definitely read the comic if I can find it! Cheers! Andre http://theultimatesuccessmanual.com

The Movie is just fantastic. Look out for 5th Nov 2011. I bet you don't know who's behind the mask. He's the same guy who acted as the villain in The Matrix. Regards, Edmund Ng http://www.purchaseresume.com http://www.internet-empire.com

The movie is cool, but i think if you want to know the story more detail u can read the comics. This is same with the others, such as X-men in marvel. Warmly, Sharon Eltimothy http://www.angularcheilitistreatments.com/ http://www.howtomakekefir.com/
