Comics while high are pretty amazing.
The one thing that has bothered me about the movie from its very inception is the colours they seem to be throwing around - it looks all dark and sort of monochrome, as if it's some sort of sleek update of Watchmen rather than an adaptation in order to attract the people obviously unaware of the significance of colours in this story. 'It worked for Batman' seems to be the logic there.
The comic was drawn in a somewhat generic style, but it used a variety of reds and pinks and yellows - bright, warm colours. This juxtaposed with the themes of the story immensely. It gave an uneasy air of comfort to an otherwise nihilistic story, as if to say that no matter how cheery and kitschy the world appears at times, how vital and dangerous the brink of war and terror may be in spite of this, there exists a gulf of emptiness and despair beneath the sheen of society and every human endeavor, no matter how noble - or deplorable - it may very well be.
But keep in mind all I have seen are previews and small segments from the film, so perhaps I am totally off.
