Thanks for the comment. Amy, and yeah–although I don’t hate Angelina, I could do without the ridiculous exploitation of her celebrity in a story which shouldn’t need it. Welcome, and please stick around!

Thanks for this review. I have just been given a class set of the graphic novel to teach to a rowdy, disengaged group of year 10 boys, and was wondering whether to show them the film or not. So I watched it. What a waste of time! Loved the original story – as told in the graphic novel – but was so disappointed by the sexualisation and over commercialism of the film. I hate Angelina, so that kinda made it worse… You review helped me to form my ideas more clearly. Cheers!

Hey J Kn…thanks for the kind words, and of course, you’re welcome to use the review (and tell everyone how great the place where it came from is, of course… ). Welcome to the discussion, and please stick around. As for the text color when inputting it into the comment section, you’re right, and I’m not yet sure how to fix it–I’ll try to look into it, but if anyone with WordPress knowledge has any idea how to handle it in the meantime I’d love to hear from you.

REal – Very good appreciation of the new movie AND the problem that Hollywood-ians always have in trying to put a book on the screen. I’m going to be reviewing this for our feeble office newsletter – do you mind if, with attribution, I quote from your review?
In any event, thanks – Cheers.
