That's why you don't compare it to the book. And, tbf, LXG the book wasn't one of Moore's best by a long way. I loved the film.Mr Wednesday said:
I don't think it was bad, per se, just mediocre and not really in the spirit of the comic. And if there's one thing a movie shouldn't do, it's piss off the comic fans.
Also the fact that the production was a bit of a joke, leading Alan Moore to disown all subsequent films based on his work and Sean Connery to retirement didn't help much.

You know what's a good idea? Not breaking your own possessions. What in the hell is the point in breaking a DVD you don't like? Just keep it for the sake of keeping it.
You're going to break something...for fun? Something that you could give to someone who likes it, make money off of, or just add to a future DVD collection?B1130 said:
There's just no point.
I have allready been convinced not to do it and offered to give it to that Trivun fellow.MorsePacific said:
Well I think it's a very entertaining movie, but if you do destroy it, I suggest you play with fire. Just because I can.
Oh well, then yes I agree there. I have the graphic novel of Volume 1 (and I'm looking to get the other volumes when I can) and I loved it, and compared to the book it is pretty crap. But as a film on it's own, I think it's really good and enjoyed it immensely. It's only bad if you compare it to the book, which I don't because whenever I'm faced with two different representations of something fictional that seem to contradict each other I consider them as being in alternate continuities. But I do see your point and I agree, to a slight extent.Mr Wednesday said:
No problem, I'm fine with that, and thanksB1130 said:
. Since we both live in the UK (according to your profile) postage shouldn't be too much, I can always sen you money to cover postage through Paypal or something. Shouldn't be a problem 
Why would you want to destroy it? That movie was brilliant! Well ok, not brilliant, but it was a damned good film. But if you really didn't like then I second this:

Holy Shit. I was also nine when I first saw this movie.Julianking93 said:
The part with the portrait kind of scarred me.
No. I remember seeing it when I was 11 years old and enjoyed it a lot. However, were I to watch it today, I'd probably dismiss it as a cliche action movie. There's nothing wrong with that really, though it is a shame they had to base it off a graphic novel, and to that end, ruined any possibilities of a good LOEG movie ever existing.Julianking93 said:
Still, my inner child like it, so I can't really say I hate it.
ok we will discuss this via pms.Trivun said:Oh well, then yes I agree there.

And the only reason I was going to bust it was I thought it was universally hated.
Exactly what's the point in destroying it when you can get some money by selling it back to a used video store.Z of the Na said:
I liked it. Then again, I didn't even know it was based off anything when I saw it.Julianking93 said:
