I enjoyed watching this movie. It is a close adaptation of the original comic book Character and Tom Holland did a good job portraying Peter Parker.

An adaptation of the first episode. It has pictures at the start of each chapter but their all pink and kinda hard to look at for too long
  
Cant wait to watch the recon version now. Fun little story, definitely reads like an adaptation. ending seemed abrupt, will find out soon. Full review to come at www.travelingthevortex.com

I really can't think of anything bad about this movie adaptation. The writing was superb. V is an amazing character. Also, the commentary about society is just... Spot on...

Excellent adaptation from the original
As a young child, I obsessively watched the Animated movie. Growing up, I have read every adaptation I could get my hands on. This movie did a splendid job of translating the animated film to live action. The development between Belle and the Beast was slower in this version which I loved. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys this fairy tale.

"Another choice adaptation of a book that meant a lot to her about the intensity of what it’s been like to grow up in American cities in the last 5 years."

Weird King adaptation with alien butt slugs, Morgan Freeman as an evil military badass (wha?) and a new kid on the block as super powered disabled (I think) Christ figure. Have fun!

A good ending to the adaptation, but in my opinion not as good as Part 1 despite the "heavy hitter" in Part 2. New Robin is great. Both parts are worth owning.

This is a adaptation of the hit album, The Wall. This is a tragic story about a man who's dad dies in the war. Fatherless, he builds a 'wall' around him as an adult.

Movie Favorite

"This adaptation of one of my favorite novels is hilarious, sweeping, exuberant and nearly perfect, because Sally Potter uses her cinema the same way Woolf used words: playfully, swoon-worthily, sharp as a tack."
