This was an excellent movie. I enjoyed it through and through. The opening was very interesting, weaving a path through an alternate, but not to different American history. The part with JFK looked frighteningly realistic, and now that I think about it, adds to The Comedian's character and how he viewed life.

It was a very R-rated film. Anything less and I don't think the film would have been nearly as good, because it was necessary that this film have a dark, sinister feel to it. Yes, even more so than The Dark Knight. I also loved how each character gets the focus of the camera for a few minutes. You can understand the differences between the characters better that way.

Now that I've seen the movie, I want to read the graphic novel to get everything that was left out of the movie. I like doing it this way because if the movie ends up being horrible (a la Eragon), it won't leave a bad taste in your mouth. You enjoy the movie for what it's worth, then you enjoy the book so much more because the books are always better than the movie. I also hear there may be an extended version coming to theaters soon. I haven't read anything official about this, but if it ever happens I'd be more than willing to pay another $9.25 to see it again.
