B33n3r & I went out and saw this last night. I would like to report it is thoroughly awesome.
When this movie was announced, many of my friends either already had read, or shortly thereafter, went out and read, the original comic books series. I meant to do the same thing, and even borrowed the book from Ben but I never quite found the time to get to it. The closest I got was watching the first two episodes of the Motion Comic, which I downloaded from iTunes. I got the whole season pass, but only watched a couple of them.
Having now seen the movie, I’m kind of glad I didn’t read the comic book first, because, while the movie was completely awesome, I did find myself getting a little impatient with all of the exposition during the first half of the movie. And if I’d read the comic and known all of that information already going in, I think I might have gone from impatient to annoyed. That being said, there’s very little I would change, because it’s all awesome.
Maybe they could have cut out some of the blue penis shots, though.
