It was pretty bad.
I'd compare it to the "Fantastic Four"/"A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" bad. Nearly unwatchable. Special effects were good but like with every other bad movie, the effects try to compensate for the lack of everything else.
I never read the novel but if the movie is pretty close to it, as some of you say, than the novel must be pretty terrible too.
Rorshac was the best part of the movie. Manhattan was an interesting, yet most boring character, plus his junk hangs out for the most of the movie. He had underwear on in the beginning, maybe the filmmakers exhausted the underwear-drawing budget halfway through. :tongue:
This was crap, avoid it and go see Taken or Coraline.
