while this is true, i'm not familiar with the source material, so maybe it was a little bit better for me. i thought it could have been better but still really liked it.

Oh, yeah, I totally agree. V for Vendetta wasn't the end all be all, but it is hands down the best adaptation of any of Moore's work. V for Vendetta is the ceiling, if you will, that I hold for Watchmen. It is definitely not going to touch the source, but if it gets a 'V' treatment I'll be happy. Now if it stoops down to 'League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' territory, then we will have a problem.
There's a reason Alan Moore hates Hollywood and hates his work being adapted...they cut out the heart and chuck it away to make a quick buck.
