I just have to say that this film definitely lived up to my expectations. Just the opening credits alone (accompanied by Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changin'") is visually stunning. Zack Snyder truly immersed himself in the story of the graphic novel and managed to capture distinct details that I was happy to catch as I watched the film. This director's cut version includes even more footage which unfortunately was not shown in the theatrical version; including one of the novel's most significant events: the death of Hollis Mason's (Nite Owl I). Whether you have read the novel or not, you'll definitely enjoy this flick.
What's great about it: Great Cinematography, incredible soundtrack, excellent casting
