So you too remain at-least-not-fully-impressed by the V movie? I thought it was a lot better than it could have been, even pretty darn good on its own merits, but it suffers so hugely in comparison to the book. And I'm not even the world's biggest fan of the book! I think it's excellent, but it doesn't strike the personal chords that, say, WATCHMEN does. Meanwhile, it bugs me that so many people love V but will likely never read the book.

I know, right? I think it's brilliant that they play off the Schumacher costumes, making commentary on superhero movies the way the book did on superhero comics.
