Short kick ass review and comparison |

*Major spoilers marked in spoilers*
Saw the movie last night and despite the changes from the comic book, I honestly thought that it turned out awesome as it's own movie.
At first there are minor changes, like a few scenes taking place at daytime instead of at night, or a character who should have been female is now a male in the movie.
It's not after Red Mist appears that the plot starts taking a huge turn away from the comics but that's not a bad thing. I honestly liked the changes. I'm sure the regular audience wouldn't have liked the ending plot of the comic book so the changes for the movie are understandable.
Movies with Nicholas Cage usually have great trailers but the movie itself is boring and broken. This one, I'm glad I found an exception. In fact, Cage rocked it.
It's not a movie to take seriously, lots of cursing, violence, stupid lines, but the movie is just something to have fun with and I certainly had fun watching it.
If you read the comic book, it's worth watching because of the changes and few added plots points. If you didn't read it, it's still worth watching if you like comic book movies or action in general.
Here are a few things in particular which I Liked and disliked from the changes in the movie from the comic.
BTW, it might be a bit irresponsible, (and we never do this, I swear.) but we didn't have a babysitter for my niece so we took her (she's 5). We covered her eyes at the two sexual scenes, which I knew about beforehand, and let her watch the rest.
She loved it. After it was over she said, "I want to be Hitgirl for Holloween".
