Well I haven't seen it, but had heard many critics say it was disappointing. Most adaptations of Alan Moore comics haven't really gone done very well with many people though, and especially Alan Moore himself from what I've heard him say! Admittedly some of the hollywood treatments like 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' were pretty dreadful but I did really like 'From Hell' which Moore also disdained. Still Moore's relationship with Hollywood has long been a turbulent and antagonistic one so I guess that may have added to the usual proprietorial criticisms people when favourite works are adapted into different mediums. Not that I've seen 'V for Vendetta' though, so anything I have to say on the subject is meaningless! Hee. Be interesting to see how 'Watchmen' gets received though.
