Review

loved the graphic novel and thought right away that it would make an excellent film if they just took the comics and used them as storyboards for the film. they did a good job of staying true to the book’s themes, but fell short nonetheless. it’s a heady piece of work and the film didn’t do a great job of conveying all the texture of the characters and the city that the book did. definitely my favorite sequence is the dr. manhattan recap. it features two pieces of music by philip glass which were originally in koyaanisqatsi and they’re brilliant. it elevates the sequence. it’s worth watching.
