If you aren't a fan of the graphic novel it may be a little hard to get into, but is a very enjoyable fil, and will require a few watches to pick up on all the details. I'm hoping that the director's cut gets a theatrical release, but as it has gone gangbusters at the box office without using a bankable movie star I'm pretty sure that Warner Brothers will release it at the movie to ring a few more bucks out of it. Just be warned that this isn't a kids movie and isn't your standard superhero film either. It's infact the anti-superhero movie, basically deconstructing what makes a hero, etc. There's also a few sex scenes to keep people's attention if the moody atmosphere of the movie is boring you.
Just a quick plot run-down if anybody needs it: In 1985 all non-government sanctioned superheroes have been outlawed and a Vietnam-era ex-superhero called the Comedian is murdered in his apartment. A moody detective superhero callled Rorschach starts to investigate and concludes that there is a "mask-killer" on the loose. Without giving much away the story follows his investigation of the murder.
If your aren't familar with the comic there's a montage at the beginning which is absolutely beautiful to look at, and explains the history of this fictional universe, plus a lot of flashbacks throughout the film help with the story also. It's a long one, so I suggest going to the toilet before going in, because if you miss anything it may be hard to keep up with.

It's not really a feel good film like the poster claims, trying to lure in the Mamma Mia market but it's still fantastic. Beautifully shot, gritty and fairy-tale-like.
