Ok so I searched and couldn't find a thread for this which shocked me so I've decided to set one up. Just saw this movie at the cinema and it may possibly be the best movie I've ever seen- an intelligent look at the apathy of society as a whole, littered with the perfect dosage dark humour, most notably in the form of Hit Girl (my favourite character). I was wondering if anybody here had read the comics they were based upon because I'd like to know how the movie compares and whether they're worth reading. Thanks

I've read the comics, and they are fantastic. What I am most curious about is how it translates to the screen, as the comic is rather bloody. I can't wait for the movie to hit the theaters. How did you catch it early? Special screening?
I started a thread in Movies and TVs about this awhile back, but it has since floated to the unexplored regions of the the netherworld.

I have always been indrigued by the comics, but the movie looks really stupid. I'm not saying it is stupid; I heard it's really good. It's just that the editors did a really bad job on the previews and the impression I got from them was that the movie was trying to be funny but failing super hard at it. I'm probably going to see it anyway because people told me it's good, but good lawd those previews sucked hard!

Both the movie and the comics are awesome. I'd say give it a chance TGIQ. My only caveat is that both are super violent, so if you don't like blood....

I think the movie looks pretty good. I haven't read the comics, and while I generally dislike the idea of superheroes, I enjoy this concept, because really they aren't superheroes so much as normal people. Looking forward to seeing it.

Saw the movie this weekend, and loved it. Really, loved it! A great film. I think I'll try to check out the comics now.
