About the music, I just don't understand why they decided to put in covers instead of the original versions which are quoted in the book. My Chemical Romance was really painful to listen to. Anyway, the reason I didn't like the movie is:

I just felt like the movie was rushed pacing wise. It just jumped from scene to scene. I never got the feeling like I was getting to know the characters like I did in the book. I never cared for them. Rorschach, Nite Owl, and the Comedian were great, but the scenes for each character in the movie seemed so short that I never developed a connection with the characters. With the book, I felt that I was with the characters in their struggles and felt their pain, but in the movie, I just kept thinking,"I remember that scene from the book. I want to go read that scene now."

In addition, the death of the citizens of New York didn't hurt as much as it did in the book. I never cared about the New Yorkers in the movie, but in the book, the death of all these people tore me up because I felt so close to them and realized how cruel such an event is.

The book really left me with a profound sense of the value of life and kept me asking myself what the right decision was. It led to internal conflict. The movie just left me thinking how I liked the scene much more in the book. Some scenes were great, but they also reminded me how much more I enjoyed them in the book and how much more of an impact they left.

Overall, I felt like the movie was a hollow shell of the book. It had all the pieces of the puzzle, but they weren't put together like they were in the book. I felt like the book was really speaking to me as I read it. The overall message sent across by the book left me thinking,"That was amazing." I left the movie thinking,"I want to go read the book."

The Philadelphia comic con usually happens about once a month and it really isn't a convention. Basically it's just a big sale where you can get trades and floppies for 50% off. The real convention is wizard world.

My usual reaction to Morrison's comics: "That was awesome!... but what the **** just happened?"

Not a big fan of the art. The faces seem a little fake.
